South Pole

If you pick a number between zero and 180, call it east or west, and then find
all of the points on earth that have that longitude, you wind up with a line that
runs between the north pole and the south pole. The line is called the "meridian"
of that longitude.

Yes, on December 21 (summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere), the South Pole experiences 24 hours of daylight where the Sun does not set. This phenomenon occurs due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis.

The Antarctic Circle is located at approximately 66.5 degrees south latitude. This means it is about 23.5 degrees away from the South Pole.

About 55 miles or an hour and a half in normal traffic driving. Measured from northern suburbs to southern suburbs.

The Southern Ocean is 7.848 million square miles in size. The Southern Ocean is located at the bottom of Earth and surrounds Antarctica.

The coordinates 80 degrees South and 117 degrees East point to a location in Antarctica, near the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. This area is remote and primarily covered by ice sheets.

The northern hemisphere is experiencing winter when the north pole is experiencing 24 hours of darkness.

Those coordinates describe the location of one point in the Atlantic Ocean.

Any other point in the same ocean has different coordinates.

That point is about 20 miles northwest of Springfield Capital Airport, as the crow flies.

Antarctica is the continent located nearest to 80 degrees south latitude. At this latitude, the majority of the continent is covered by the vast Antarctic ice sheet, making it the southernmost continent on Earth.

The North Pole is the point on Earth's surface that lies at the northernmost end of the planet's axis of rotation, while the South Pole is the point at the southernmost end. These poles represent the points where the Earth's axis intersects its surface.

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.

The imaginary line running through Greenwich, England at 0 degrees longitude is called the Prime Meridian. It marks the starting point for measuring longitude and defines the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

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.

lines of latitude

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.

Virtually the entire 80°S parallel is on the continent of Antarctica or its waters.

The Earth is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit, so that only on the equinox days (usually March 20 and September 23) do both poles experience a short period when both can have sun. The pole that is angled away from the Sun will have no daylight, while the one angled toward the Sun will have continual daylight -- although the Sun just circles the horizon and never goes very high into the sky.

So from around September 23 to March 20, the South Pole has 6 months of daylight, 24 hours a day. The exact length is about 4383 hours.

No, the south pole is not a continent, but a compass point: 90 degrees South Latitude. It exists on a continent named Antarctica.

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.

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.

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.
