What is the distance on the earth's surface as measured by miles north or south from the equator to the pole?
Approximately 10,014 km (6258.75 miles). The earth isn't a perfect sphere so the distance from the south pole to the equator is slightly different to the distance from the north pole to the equator. The distance from the north pole to the equator is 10,000 km (6250 miles). The reason it's such a round number is because a metre was originally defined as exactly 1 10,000,000th of the distance from the north pole to the equator.
What else can I help you with?
What are the paralles of latitude?
The angular distance north or south of the earths equator, measured in degrees, along a meridian, as on the map or globe.
How are baselines used to locate points on earths surface?
The Equator
Earth's diameter is measured by it distance?
Earths diameters is a straight line through the middle of the Earth. That is how the size of planets is measured.
What is used to locate places on the earths surface?
Latitude and longitude coordinates are used to locate places on the Earth's surface. Latitude measures distance north or south of the Equator, while longitude measures distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. This system allows for accurate and precise pinpointing of locations worldwide.
Why does earths surface bulge at the equator?
Because the Earth is spinning - at about 1000 miles per hour at the equator.
What are the paralles of latitude?
The angular distance north or south of the earths equator, measured in degrees, along a meridian, as on the map or globe.
What is the distance from earths surface to the center of earth?
That's the Earth's radius. It's about 6378 kilometers at the equator. That's 3963 miles.

The Equator
How are these baselines used to located points on earths surface?
The Equator
What is the distance above earths surface?
Infinity
Where on earths surface is gravity the strongest?
Gravity is strongest at the Earth's poles and weakest at the equator. This is because the Earth bulges at the equator due to its rotation, creating a slightly greater distance from the center of the Earth to points on the equator, thus reducing the gravitational force experienced there.
Why do the poles receive the less solar energy than the equator does?
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces
What 2 lines are the base lines for measurements of earths surface?
The equator and the Greenwich meridian.
What two lines are the baselines for measuring distances on earths surface?
The equator, and the prime meridian.
What is the distance from earth's surface to the end of earths atmosphere?
The Earth's atmosphere extends anywhere from 250-400 miles off the surface, depending on where you are standing. Near the equator, it is thicker due to the heat from the surface and cloud reflection, and the high moisture and humidity.
The longest parallel on the earths surface is the?
Equator is the longest parallel on the Earth's surface. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and is located at 0 degrees latitude.
Why gravity becomes zero at equator?
Gravity doesn't become zero at equator, its value is roughly the same all over the earths surface.
