Does the Prime Meridian pass through the North or South Pole?

It is a line starting at the North Pole going through Royal Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich, England, and to the South Pole. It ends at both Poles. If you continue the line past either Pole onto the other side of the world it becomes the 180th meridian. See the info and link below.\n\nFrom Wikipedia\nThe Prime Meridian is the meridian (line of longitude) passing through the Royal Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, England; it is the meridian at which longitude is 0 degrees. The prime meridian separates the eastern and western hemispheres. \n\nThe 180th meridian, on the opposite side of the world from the Prime Meridian, conveniently passes almost entirely through ocean. This line is used as the basis for the International Date Line, with some modifications.

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.)

It's any time you want! All the time zones come together at both poles, so asking what time it is at the North Pole is like asking which way is north. \nLocal time at all other locations on the Earth's surface is based on the Sun's position relative to the celestial meridian, an imaginary line running north and south directly overhead. Noon is based on when the Sun crosses the local meridian, which also corresponds to its highest point in the sky on a given day. \nAt the North Pole, there is no north/south line that can define a meridian. Also, on any given day the Sun circles the sky at the same apparent altitude. There is no "highest position" to define noon. \nBy convention, I assume it would be convenient to select the prime meridian and its corresponding zulu time as the standard time at either pole.

The north pole is +90 degrees, or 90 degrees north; south pole is -90 degrees, or 90 degrees south.

Yes , It is covered in snow\nThe South pole is in dh continent of Antarctica so definately it will hav snow\nBoth the poles of the Earth R having snow

This would depend on weather you are at true north or magnetic north as the two differ a lot. If it was tru north pole (where santa lives) then all directions are south but if it is magnetic north then this will change relative to where you are standing at different times of the day and different times of the year.

If you are standing on the geographic North Pole, you are looking south. Every way you look is south, so east and west are irrelevant. Anywhere else, the camera is pointing in whatever direction you point it.

It would point towards the magnetic pole which is somewhat south of the geographical North Pole. The 2005 location of the magnetic north pole is 79.74°N and 71.78°W

Most people say the North Pole.

Someday it will be.  Earth reverses its magnetic poles periodically, so one day Antarctica will be to the north.

Well, given the earth would rotate at 180 m/s and the parcel is traveling north at 1m/s from an overhead view of the earth (with the north pole being central in the picture) you would end up with a spiraled trajectory based on PHI squared. until reaching the north pole then I suppose it would pass that point and continue with yet another spiral southward until eventually you covered the entire planet with some trajectory line.  \n\n  Otherwise it would be a PHI spiral ending in the north pole.

Dudes, the eqeator or prime meridian do NOT go THROUGH the center of the earth AT ALL!\n\nThe answer is Axis, duh.

In this situation a compass needle will not point to anywhere on the dial very strongly - it will just wander around weakly with no real direction. Explorers now need GPS to determine the exact pole location; it shifts slightly every year.\n\nDC :-)

True north would be a line from your position to the geographic north pole.\n\nMagnetic north is a line between your position and the northern magnetic pole.  \n\nSince the northern magnetic pole does NOT coincide with the geographic north pole (IIRC, it is somewhere in northern Canada), there is a difference between those two lines.  The magnitude of that difference depends on precisely where on the earth you are standing when you take your measurement.\n\nThat's why, on all good topographic maps, they have an indicator of both magnetic north and true north, so you can apply the appropriate correction to navigate with a compass.  Of course, global positioning systems are making that problem a non-issue (if you can "see" the satellites . . .).

The compass needle point would try to point to the strongest northern pole of a magnetic field. Or between them if there are two.\n\nIf the compass was in space, but still close to the earth (just outside the atmosphere) it would likely still point to the earth's northern pole.\n\nIf you took it close the sun, say, it would point there since the sun's magnetic field is many times stronger than anything else in the solar system.\n\nOn the otherhand, if you took the compass into deep space, far away from anything, i.e. infinifty, it would not point at anything in particular since there is no magnetic field close by.
