The answer is either "zero" or "non-existent", for a number of different reasons:
-- From either pole, there is no such thing as 'east' or 'west'. Every direction from
the north pole is south, and every direction from the south pole is north.
From either the north or south pole, the other pole is about 12,440 miles away,
in ANY direction.
-- From any point on earth except the poles, if you keep going far enough south
you'll eventually reach the south pole, and if you keep going far enough north
you'll eventually reach the north pole.
But from any point on earth except the poles, if you keep going far enough east or west,
you'll eventually wind up back exactly where you started, but you'll never reach either pole.
Weird, eh ?
What else can I help you with?
Is the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole it is noted by?
The distance east or west from a given point on Earth as measured pole to pole is noted by the longitude. Longitude lines run north and south and are measured as angles east or west from the prime meridian, which is located in Greenwich, England.
Longitude measures the distance east and west of the what?
Longitude measures the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian, which is the imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole through Greenwich, England.
Why north south distance is less than east west distance?
The planet Earth is not a perfect sphere and the length from pole to pole is slightly shorter than the distance at the Equator. The east-west distance around the Earth at the Equator (its circumference) is 40,075 kilometers or 24,901 miles. The circumference taken pole-to-pole (north-south distance) would be 40,008 km / 24,860 miles.This is due to the gravitational pull of Sun, which causes the Earth to be slightly squashed from North-South and stretched from E-W.
Latitude is the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole it is noted by meridians?
No. The question confuses elements of multiple definitions.-- Latitude is a measurement north or south, not east or west.-- Latitude and longitude "distances" are measured from reference lines, not points.-- "Pole to pole" is a north-south measurement, not east-west.-- Longitude, not latitude, is noted in meridians.We'll try to unravel the confusion with the following twostatements:-- Latitude is the angle north or south, as measured from the earth's equator.It is noted by "parallels", drawn parallel to the equator.-- Longitude is the angle east or west from an agreed zero-line. It is noted by the meridians,lines drawn pole-to-pole. The zero-line, called the "Prime Meridian", is the one that passesthrough Greenwich, a suburb of London.
In kilometers how much larger is the distance around the earth from east to west than the distance north to south?
The circumference of the earth at the equator is 40,075.16 kilometers or 24,901.55 miles. The shorter circumference of the earth over the poles is 40,007.86 kilometers or 24,859.73 miles. The difference is 67.3 kilometers or 41.82 miles. This shape is known as an ellipsoid or more properly, a geoid (earth-like).
Is the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole it is noted by?
The distance east or west from a given point on Earth as measured pole to pole is noted by the longitude. Longitude lines run north and south and are measured as angles east or west from the prime meridian, which is located in Greenwich, England.
What is the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole and it is noted by what?
Latitude, parallels
Longitude measures the distance east and west of the what?
Longitude measures the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian, which is the imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole through Greenwich, England.
How far do you have to travel from the north pole before you can go east or west?
In theory; any distance. No matter how tiny.
S the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole?
Please clarify your question. The distance from pole to pole is always the same. 20,014 kilometers, or 12,416 miles when you are measuring across the earths surface. Any points on the earth would have to have its distance from either pole extrapolated and then the number subtracted from the total distance of 12,416 miles to get the distance to the opposite pole. Formula distance to either pole= ( 12,416 - distance to opposite pole ) or 12,416 = X + Pole B Distance or 12,416 = Pole A Distance + X or Pole A Distance = 12,416 - Pole B Distance or Pole B Distance = 12,416 - Pol A Distance
Why north south distance is less than east west distance?
The planet Earth is not a perfect sphere and the length from pole to pole is slightly shorter than the distance at the Equator. The east-west distance around the Earth at the Equator (its circumference) is 40,075 kilometers or 24,901 miles.

Which line measure distance east to west of the prime meridian?
Lines of longitude pass from pole to pole, and the Prime Meridian passes through the Greenwich Observatory. London, UK, and is zero.
How long is it from west to east?
There is not a set distance from west to east. The earth is a sphere, so you have to describe places in relation to other places. For instance, I can say London is east of Wales, or Scotland is north of England. You have to have reference points to define as north, south, east and west. For north and south we use the North Pole and South Pole, and we use 1 line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole through Greenwich, London. Relative to this line China is in the East and America is in the west. Thus, to answer your question, the world is 12756.1 km all the way around at the equator, which is west to east, but it goes back to exactly the same point, so it is also 0 km.
Which is warm south pole or north pole?
The east pole. The west pole's fairly warm, but more humid.
Does earth spins to east to west?
The Earth spins counterclockwise so no, it spins from west to east. Counter clockwise if you are standing on the north pole. Clockwise if you stand on the south pole. Either way it spins from west to east.

What is New Yorks Greatest distance from the North to South and the east to West?
New York's greatest distance is from east to west. The distance from east to west is 330 miles and the distance from north to south is 283 miles.
