North Pole
The northern end of the earth's axis of rotation, a point in the Arctic Ocean.

Earth's average temperatures are highest near the equator due to the direct angle of sunlight received year-round, resulting in more heat absorption. Near the poles, the sunlight hits at a more oblique angle, spreading over a larger area and resulting in less heat being absorbed, leading to lower temperatures. Additionally, the equator receives more concentrated sunlight due to Earth's spherical shape, while the poles receive slanted, less concentrated sunlight.
When the north pole has summer the south pole has?
When the North Pole has summer, the South Pole has winter. This is because the Earth's axis is tilted, causing one pole to receive more direct sunlight (summer) while the other pole receives less direct sunlight (winter).
What is the continent of North Pole?
The North Pole is not on any continent. It is an imaginary point on the Earth's surface that can be reached by travelling over the Arctic Ice Sheet, which forms on the surface of the Arctic Sea.
Where do the sun sets for six months starting September 23?
North Pole 70% Sure OR South Pole 30% Sure
Since the spring and summer months in the southern hemisphere begin at this time of year onwards, you would have to be at the North Pole, although I believe the total lack of sunrise and set is much less than a full six months. The days are very short, either side of the total night days.
The other possibility is the planet Mercury where the nights are about that long.
Is the Arctic Circle 23 and a half degrees south of the North Pole?
No, the Arctic Circle is located approximately 23 and a half degrees north of the North Pole, not south.
The imaginary line running down the middle of the Atlantic Ocean from the North Pole to the South Pole is known as the Prime Meridian. This line marks 0 degrees longitude and serves as the starting point for measuring east-west coordinates on Earth.
The imaginary line that runs north and south from the North Pole to the South Pole at 0 degrees longitude is called the Prime Meridian.
Why is one part of a magnet called a north pole?
A: Imagine a large pole being shoved into the earth and come out the other end. This is called the earth's axis. It's an imaginary rod that the earth spins around once a day. at the top of the earth is the north pole while the bottom of the earth is the south pole.
The North Police is also called the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole.
Does Mexico lie north or south of the equator?
All of Mexico is north of the equator. The country's southernmost point
is at about 14.6° north latitude.
Santa is very busy at this time of year, so best to get to bed early and see what he brings you tomorrow morning (Christmas Day). He really can't pick up anyone, as he would have millions of children that he would have to let have a turn, if he did that, he would never find the time to get all your presents delivered. You can remember to leave him out a glass of milk and of course some carrots for his reindeers.
What country extends farthest north Norway Sweden or Finland?
Norway extends farthest north among Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The northernmost point of Norway is the North Cape, which lies at around 71 degrees north latitude.
What is the furthest north latitude?
The largest possible latitudes are 90 degrees north (the north pole) and 90 degrees south (the south pole).
The largest possible longitudes are 180 degrees east and 180 degrees west.
Both of those longitudes are the same line ... the International Date Line,
which runs down the middle of the Pacific ocean.
What is the location of the north pole and south pole in degrees on all 3 globes?
On a globe of the Earth, the North Pole is located at 90 degrees North latitude and the South Pole is located at 90 degrees South latitude. For a globe of Mars, the North Pole is approximately at 90 degrees North latitude and the South Pole is approximately at 90 degrees South latitude. For a globe of Jupiter, the North Pole is around 30 degrees North latitude and the South Pole is around 30 degrees South latitude.
A standard utility pole typically has around 15-20 crossarms, providing attachment points for cables and equipment. Each crossarm can host multiple sets of insulators and power lines, so the total number of links (connections) on a pole can vary but is typically in the range of 30-50 links.
What ocean lies near North Pole?
The Southern Ocean is located around the South Pole
The other ocean closest to it is the Pacific Ocean - but the Southern Ocean is the closest
The 20o west meridian approximates an imaginary line running north and south through the Atlantic Ocean. The eastern and western hemispheres are actually separated by the meridians 20o west and 160o east.
What marks the northernmost point on earth?
The northernmost point on Earth is the geographic North Pole, located at 90 degrees north latitude. It is the point where all lines of longitude converge, and it experiences 24 hours of daylight during the summer solstice in June.
Who was the first person to drive to the north pole?
Jeremy Clarkson for a TV special of Top Gear in 2007
James May was passenger. Technically the camera crew and expedition team were there first. kiss my beans x
Do note that they drove to the 1996 location of the magnetic North Pole, not the top of the world (Geographic North Pole). The difference is roughly 1200km.
Do you need a north or south magnet to stick to the fridge?
There are not separate north and south magnets; each magnet has both a north end and a south end. These can't be separated. Putting a magnet against a normal (non-magnetized) piece of iron, like the refrigerator, works no matter in what direction (north or south) you put it; the magnetism of the magnet will temporarily induce magnetism in the refrigerator in this case.
What is the color of bear in south pole?
There are no bears of any sort on Antarctica, where the South Pole is located.
How many people have been to both the north and south poles?
It is estimated that around 300-400 people have visited both the North and South Poles. These individuals are typically experienced adventurers, scientists, or explorers who have undertaken expeditions to both locations.
Where is the arctic region in Canada located?
The Arctic region in Canada is located in the northernmost part of the country, encompassing the territories of Nunavut, Yukon, and Northwest Territories. This area is characterized by its cold climate, permafrost, and unique ecosystems adapted to the extreme conditions of the North.
What is distance north or south of the earth's equator?
Latitude.
2nd answer:
Latitude is the wrong answer. Distance is measured in miles, feet, yards, meters, kilometers, and so forth.
Latitude is a measurement of degrees, not distance.
What is special about the equinox and why is it especially important at the north and south poles?
The equinox is special because it marks the time when the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in equal lengths of day and night. At the poles, the equinox is significant because it marks the beginning of a period of continuous daylight (during the spring equinox) or continuous darkness (during the autumn equinox) due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
