Where is gravity strongest equator or north pole?
Force of gravity is proportional to the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Only considering the force of gravity, it is larger at the equator. If you measure the weight of an object, however, countering gravity is the centripetal force of rotation, which will "subtract" from the force of gravity at the equator.
What causes ocean water near the poles to be colder than ocean water near the equator?
the sun's rays strike the water at a angle at the poles
APEX
If you are referring to the capital of Algeria, then yes.
Does the temperature usually get cooler or warmer as you get closer to equator?
The temperature gets hotter as you get closer to the equator and colder as you leave the equator. This has to do with how the sun's rays hit earth.
Quito, Ecuador in South America
That point is near the coast of northern Ecuador, about 105 miles west-northwest
of the center of Quito. Looking at a globe, Quito may appear to be "near" that point,
but we would not welcome the task of walking it.
Which countries in this region lie south of the equator?
Angola, Zambia, Tanzania, Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Angola, Rawanda, Burudi, Mozambique lie entirely south of equator.
The coutries through which the equator passes are: Gabon, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya and Somalia
What is the line of latitude around the centre of the world called?
The line of latitude running around the approximate middle of the globe is the EQUATOR.
How does equator and prime meridian to explain hemisphere?
The Northern Hemisphere is the half of a planet that is north of equator-the word hemisphere literally means 'half sphere'.
How does the temperature rise as you get closer to the equator?
As you get closer to the equator, the temperature tends to rise due to the more direct angle at which the sun's rays hit the Earth's surface. This angle results in more concentrated heat energy, leading to warmer temperatures near the equator.
All of Mexico is north of the equator. The country's southernmost point
is at about 14.6
Which state is closer to the equator Florida or Texas?
Florida is slightly closer, as its southernmost city, Key West, is near 24.56° North latitude.
For Texas, the southernmost point is South Point, near Brownsville, at 25.87 North latitude.
Is the savanna closer to the equator or pole?
The grasslands in the arctic and sub-arctic are called tundra; grass cannot grow near the poles themselves, as it's too cold and too dry. Those near the equator are called (no surprise) equatorial grasslands.
In which directions is the equator from theunited states?
The equator is south of the united states because the equator divides the globe into north and south and if you look at a globe then you will see that the equator is south of the us
ps: if you have any more questions im on facebook .
Which three countries in south America struddle the equator?
That would be Brazil, Ecuador and Colombia.
How far is germany from the Equator?
The distance from north to south in Germany is 530 miles. The distance from east to west in this country is 404 miles.
What generally happens to air temperature as we move from the equator to poles?
temperatures starts to decrease in degrees and the days get shorter
What country is located entirely south of the equator?
The nation at the southernmost tip of Africa is the Republic of South Africa.
Cape Aghulus is the southernmost point within the Republic of South Africa, making it the southernmost point of the African continent.
It became the Union of South Africa on the 31st of May 1910 (independent from Britain), and became the Republic of South Africa on the 31st of May 1961.
Would the tropic of Capricorn be located north or south of the equator?
The Tropic of Capricorn is located south of the equator, at approximately 23.5 degrees south latitude.
If by "the sun's revolution" you mean it's rotational period (how long it takes the sun to spin around once), you can safely assume about 25 days. (25.38 to be exact) This is a difficult thing to measure as the sun is completely gas and different sections (from the equator to its poles) rotate at different velocities.
However, if you mean how long it takes the sun to rotate around the center of the GALAXY, this is measured to be 2.25 to 2.5 x 108 (250 MILLION YEARS!) The velocity at which the Sun travels around the center of the galaxy has been calculated to be 220,000 meters PER SECOND. So combining these two things we estimate that the Sun journeys over 6 BILLION miles for just one rotation!
These are big numbers to think about, but it makes you realize how HUGE our galaxy and space is... and there are billions of more galaxies out there!
Is the earth's equator the same temperature why or why not?
No, there is a range of temperatures around the Earth's equator due to changes in altitude. The mountains along the equator can (and do, in many cases) have snow on their peaks because they are so high in the atmosphere that it is below freezing. The ocean beaches along the equator tend to be 80 degrees F or higher for most of the year.
How is heat redistributed from the equator to the poles?
Energy is not distributed from the Equator. All forms of energy that come to Earth are distributed as equally as possible, but because of the Earth's shape, the Equator gets more.
