What Are latitude of the north and south poles?
150981
The north pole is +90 degrees, or 90 degrees north; south pole is -90 degrees, or 90 degrees south.

One place it is not located at is the "magnetic North pole" which is where a magnetic compass points to. The compass reading could be as much as 15 degrees different from the direction to the "true" North pole you seem to be referring to depending on where in the US or world you are. It would seem logical that the "true" North pole is located where all the lines of longitude come together at the top of a globe. The lines of latitude are parallel to the earth's equator. The earth's axis that passes through the true South to true North poles is known to "precess" slowly over about a 25,000 year period, I believe, meaning that our planet's axis is slowly wobbling over that period of time as the earth rotates around it.

Some time zone lines do not extend to the poles. There is actually a polar time for the north pole and the south pole. See the link below.

There are two types of satellites: polar and geostationary. Polar satellites circle the earth, covering the north pole and the south pole on every circle, at an altitude of about 850 km. A geostationary satellite "moves with the earth" and is always situated over the same place over the equator, at an altitude of about 36000 km.

First there are 3 north poles. There is magnetic north which your compass will point to, There is the North Pole the earth rotates on and then there is North which would be the top of the earth as compare to the sun and its orbital plane. We can also refer to north based on the position of the galaxy and assigning one end as North and the other as south. North and south poles are used in navigation after the discovery of the compass needle always pointing north.

If you find the latitude of the northernmost point and the latitude of a point directly south of that you can calculate it.  Multiply the difference in degrees by 60 to get the distance in nautical miles.  Then apply the conversion factors:  1 nautical mile = 1.152 statute miles and 1 statute mile = 1.609 kilometers.  Combined, that means to multiply the difference in longitude in degrees by 111.214.  (Use degrees and decimal degrees, not minutes and seconds).\n\nYou'll be pretty close with this method even though it assumes a spherical Earth.

On it's axis I presume. I'm afraid it's not definitive at all:\n\n25 days at the equator\n27 days 35 degrees of latitude from the equator.\n33 days 75 degrees of latitude from the equator.\n\nThis is for the "surface" of the sun.

It's the variation between the magnetic north pole and the geographic north pole.  It varies depending on your location.

based from previous data the north magnetic pole in 2006 is probably in this area 83.0° N 115.2° W

Lines of latitude.  For example, I live at 41 degrees north of the Equator.  It's like there's a line that goes around the globe East-West.

Lines of latitude go around the earth from east to west and are all parallel to each other.  They tell pilots, sailors, etc. how far they are north or south of the equator and how far they are from the north or south pole.  The equator is sort of the main line of latitude.  \n\nLines of longitude go from north to south and each one passes through both the north and south pole, so they are not parallel to each other.  The main line of longitude is called the Prime Meridian and it passes through Greenwich, England.  That is also the line on the earth that is used to determine time zones.\n\nThink of a peeled grapefruit or an orange. The segments of the grapefruit are sort of like the lines of longitude.  But if you cut the grapefruit through the middle like you do if you eat it for breakfast the cut that you make is sort of like the equator, the main line of latitude.\n\nHope this helps.

Between the extremes of  12,400 to 12,500, depending on which north south line you traveled (the contour of the earth would create different distances).  The actual circumference of the earth through the poles has been calculated at 24,859.92 miles (less than the equatorial circumference.)

North is one of the four cardinal directions, specifically the direction that, in Western culture, is treated as the primary direction: north is used (explicitly or implicitly) to define all other directions; the (visual) top edges of maps usually correspond to the northern edge of the territory represented, unless explicitly stated otherwise or landmarks are considered more useful for that territory than specific directions\n\n\n\nTRUE north, the direction along the earth's surface toward one pole of the earth's rotation, namely the pole that is clearly on one's left when standing at the Equator while facing the rising sun.\n\nMAGNETIC north, the direction along the earth's surface in which horizontal magnetic field strength has its most positive value (but see Flipping of planetary magnetic poles for an eventual event, so rare as to make unlikely any advance agreement on whether one or two retronyms would be involved in the replacement terminology)\n\nSouth is also  one of the four cardinal directions or compass points. It is the opposite of North and at right angles to East and West.SO ONCE NORTH IS FIXED SOUTH IS IT'S OPPOSITE\n\nBy Western convention, the bottom side of a map is South.\n\n\nSo, the real answer to your question is that it's just a convention & has no scientific basis behind it .

THat depends whether they are at the north or south pole.

Using the earth as an example, it would be the distance from the earth's axis of rotation (the line between the north and south poles).... to the equator at the surface.
