The equator is at 0 degees latitude, the South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude and the North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. As you move away from the equator towards the higher latitudes, sun light must travel further through the earth's atmosphere to reach the surface of the earth which subsequently weakens it. The temperature becomes progressively colder, so by the time you reach the polar regions, the temperature rarely gets above freezing.
What else can I help you with?
What is the length of daylight associated with the equinox at the equator and the poles?
At the equator, during the equinox, the length of daylight is approximately 12 hours. At the poles, during the equinox, there is no daylight as it is the period when the sun remains below the horizon for a full 24 hours.
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles creating?
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.
What cause currents to flow between the poles of the equator?
warm-water
How fast do the hours of daylight change?
The speed at which the hours of daylight change varies based on the location and time of year. Near the equator, daylight hours change minimally throughout the year. However, closer to the poles, such as in the Arctic or Antarctic regions, daylight can change dramatically, with periods of continuous daylight or darkness during certain times of the year.
What is the length of daylight associated with the equinox at the equator and the poles?
At the equator, during the equinox, the length of daylight is approximately 12 hours. At the poles, during the equinox, there is no daylight as it is the period when the sun remains below the horizon for a full 24 hours.
Which country has 24 hours of daylight?
The country which has 24 hours of daylight is the North AND South poles.
How many hours of daylight exist on the north or south poles?
6 months of daylight = 4380 hours
Where do warm currents move from?
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D
Ocean currents that move toward the poles are?
warm
Does warm air rise to the poles?
yes
How warm is the himalayers?
there isnt a "warm" feeling about the himalayers! around 10 degrees Fahrenheit on a super suny day. really warm!
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles creating?
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.
Where does Warm tropical water flows towards?
Poles
What happens to the warm air at the poles?
it cools down
What carries warm water the poles?
Ocean currents.
