5. In what direction is the equator from the South Pole?
The equator is North, as is everything else on earth when you are at the South Pole. From the south Pole, every direction is north.The North pole is the northernmost point on Earth. The South Pole is the southernmost point on Earth. The Equator is a line running circumferentially around the Earth and is midway between the poles. The Equator is south of the North Pole and north of the South Pole.All lines of latitude -- including the Equator -- are north of the South Pole.
The angular velocity vector of earths rotation points from?
Without looking it up, I'll go out on a limb here and state my guess. (Then somebody else can come along and show that my guess was all wet.) I think angular velocity and acceleration are both right-hand-rule guys, with vectors formed by (R) cross (rotation direction). If true, and rotation is from west to east (counterclock viewed from above the north pole), then the angular velocity vector points into the south pole and out of the north pole. Correction: You have stated the true method for the answer above, but got the opposite answer. Since the earth rotates in a counter-clockwise direction viewed from the north pole, the angular velocity vector would point from the center of the earth to the north pole. It's magnitude would be the angular velocity of the earth's spin. -J I think that's exactly what I said ... " ... out of the north pole". Ah I see, my apologies. I think where I was confused was where you stated "into the south pole..." Instead you can state that it would originate from the center and point towards the north pole. You can rewrite it and delete our discussion :)
What has north and south pole's?
The Earth has geographic North and South Poles, which are the points where the Earth's axis intersects its surface. Additionally, there are magnetic North and South Poles, which are not fixed and can move over time due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Why does a magnet rest at its north-south position?
A magnet rests at its north-south position due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of a magnet is attracted to Earth's magnetic south pole, causing it to align in a north-south direction.
What are the characteristics of the north and south poles of both a magnet and the earth?
The North pole of a magnet or Earth attracts the South pole, while repelling the North pole. The South pole attracts the North pole and repels the South pole. For Earth, the North magnetic pole is located near the geographic North pole, and the South magnetic pole is near the geographic South pole.
Where does the angular velocity vector of the Earth rotation points?
Up out of the north pole. (And down into the south pole.)
What are the points farthest north and south on earth?
The point farthest north on Earth is the North Pole, located at approximately 90 degrees north latitude. The point farthest south on Earth is the South Pole, located at approximately 90 degrees south latitude.
What is the farthest point on the Earth's surface?
north pole and south pole are the farthest points on earth
What is one half of a sphere the earth has a north and a south one of these?
Hemisphere. Earth has a North and a South Hemisphere
What are the points farhest north and south on the earth?
North pole and south pole

Why does a magnet rest at its north-south position?
A magnet rests at its north-south position due to Earth's magnetic field. The north pole of a magnet is attracted to Earth's magnetic south pole, causing it to align in a north-south direction.
The regions farthest north and south on the Earth?
The regions farthest north and south on the Earth are called the polar regions. Both the north and south polar regions have an icy coating. The north is called the North Pole and the south is called Antarctica. Antarctica is also a continent.
What are the characteristics of the north and south poles of both a magnet and the earth?
The North pole of a magnet or Earth attracts the South pole, while repelling the North pole. The South pole attracts the North pole and repels the South pole. For Earth, the North magnetic pole is located near the geographic North pole, and the South magnetic pole is near the geographic South pole.
What are the polarity of earth's north and south poles?
The Earth's North Pole is a magnetic south pole and the South Pole is a magnetic north pole. This means that the North Pole of a compass needle points towards the Earth's magnetic South Pole, and vice versa.
