The South Pole begins its rotation away from the sun on March 21, and on June 21, it changes course and begins its rotation toward the sun.
The North Pole and the South Pole are far away from the equator.
The Southern Hemisphere beings its turn toward the sun on June 21 and on December 21, it begins to turn away.
Zero hours of sunlight. The Winter Solstice on the 21st of June is the day that the sun is furthest away from the South Pole. Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.
The South Pole is 8,448 miles from Interstate 85 at Union Street. It's a few miles closer to South Boulevard, and a few miles farther from Northern Boulevard and most of Maxwell.
The 'equinoxes' occur in March and September. At those times, neither pole is tilted toward or away from the sun. At the time of the June solstice, the north pole reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, whereas at the time of the December solstice, the south pole is at its maximum tilt toward the sun.
It is Winter in the Southern Hemisphere
The North Pole and the South Pole are far away from the equator.
It's summer in Winnipeg when the South Pole tilts away from the Sun.
At the South Pole, every direction is north. That's because the South Pole is located at the southernmost point on Earth, and all lines of longitude meet there. This means that no matter which way you go from the South Pole, you are always travelling north.
When the South Pole is tilted away from the sun, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
Once you've reached the south pole, you can only move away from the pole. And since you are moving away from the south pole you can't be traveling south. Aha! But you CAN travel south from the south pole. It's just that you will need a space ship to do it. We do not have two poles, called 'north' and 'south'. The pole is one line that continues indefinitely in a straight line, up from both 'poles' on the globe, as we call them for convenience. Hop in your ship, set your course along the pole, and fly south for ever.

Cape Horn, at about 55° south latitude, is closer to the South Pole (35° away) than to the equator.
he came 112 miles away from the geographic south pole.
A long way, they are much closer to the South Pole.
The south pole of a magnetic compass is pulled towards the Earth's north magnetic pole, and away from Earth's south magnetic pole. Or towards and away the corresponding poles of any other magnet. Note that Earth's NORTH magnetic pole is close to the SOUTH pole.
