why the attractive power of the earth is not equal at different zones?

The Earth is not a perfect sphere so you are at different distances from the centre at different places.\nThe density of the Earth is not constant so above dense rocks you appear slightly heavier.\nThe Earth spins so at the equator you are lifted slightly by the Eotovos effect.

considering the age of the earth the odds would favor it. as well as a day when it was completely cloudy. although the continent of north america was once attached to europe but moved with shift of the tectonic plates

There is no right answer for this question. Just because the plates are moving and right now most of the land mass is in the northern hemisphere. That is just where the bulk of it is right now, and someday it will change.

It has to do with the path of the earth and the sun through space.\n\nThe websites I've attached should help.

The earth is taken as the reference point of measuring potentials and the potential given to earth is 0(after all only potential differences make sense) . The earth has such an enormous radius, that its capacitance\nC=4*pi*e*R is very very large and hence the change in potential of the "sphere" is negligibly small as\n change in potential = charge added/capacitance of earth\nThus the earth remains "neutral"(zero potential assigned initially doesn't change) even after lightenings.

It appears that this is unlikely.  The Vaastu Shastra is a compilation of various ancient texts and relate primarily to use of space and building to satisfy the primary gods of the cardinal points.  They are heavily aligned to spacial points which were considered energy bearing in ancient time and to some modern schools of religious thought as related to the ancient.  Unfortunately in regards to your question the magnetic fields of the Earth are not aligned with the cardinal points and are actually continually fluctuating due to vagaries inside the Earth and as they are impacted by cosmic influences, especially the activities of the Sun.

because it changes slowly, and also you don't feel the magnets on your frigde why would you feel the earth? :P

gravitational pull is different in different places on earth. but it is fixed. we cannot change it locally or globally. bcoz it depends on earth's mass, which we cant change.

It is warmer closer to the surface of the earth b/c of gravity & air acting as an insulator. Sounds strange???\n\nLet me explain...\n\nAir holds heat. It is an insulator.\n\nMost of the air is found in the troposphere, the layer closest to the earth's surface. Why???\n\nAir has mass just as we do. All objects having mass obey the laws of gravity.\n\nSince gravity is greatest closest to the surface of the earth, the gas molecules in the air will be pulled more closely to the earth.\n\nSince the insulator (gas molecules) is closer to the surface, heat will be held at the surface.\n\nThe higher you go, the less gravity & therefore there will be less air & less heat.\n\n:)

Well, it seems like someone hacked into AskJeeves, because I became so curious about your question that I went to AskJeeves. \n\nAnyway, visit this page:\n\nhttp://www.askforkids.com/web?q=Why+does+Earth+move+on+a+tilted+axis%3F\n\nPerhaps it shall work on your computer. Whenever I click on the result, it visits the page temporarily and then suddenly goes to a different page, which seems to want to advertise, though it's under construction.\n\nGreat question!\n\nI personally believe that if the Earth did not use a tilted axis, it would not have electromagnetic fields across it. This would vary the different compositions of materials, and though I do not have very much knowledge about this, it probably would mean that humans could not survive, because humans use electromagnetic forces for various things.

The source of the heat is from Hell (so generally hell is hot), so when it rises our earth is of moderate temperature for us living things. The heat continues to rise and when it is high up in the atmosphere, pressure reduced, this result in Cold Heaven as well....:p

The distance to the center of the earth and most planets is greater at the equator than at the poles. This is due to the spinning of the object on its axis.

Every time zone is 1 hour apart\nbecause the earth is round

The answer is yes! Most definateley! Being so close to the sun and not rotating on an axis makes for a huge temperature differential between the "light" and "dark" sides of the planet. This, through convection alone, makes for all kinds of geological activity. One must keep in mind that the conditions on that planet are far different from those on our own.

It's due to the jetstream which is located at about 250 mb which is approximately 12km above the surface (give or take).\nAnyway the jet stream does circle the globe (not always continuously) flowing from west to east (in the northern hemisphere).  Our weather systems are steered by the upper level winds associated with the jet stream.  Keep in mind though, the jet stream does have troughs and ridges which causes weather systems to move north or south, but the general flow is from west to east.\n\n-For those who say it's the rotation of the Earth... it is in a way because it's the unequal heating of the earth and the rotation of the earth that creates the jet stream.  But it really is upper level winds which steer weather systems.

Venus is brighter ,but the space station when you saw it might have been turn in a way that it was'nt getting a big reflection.Maybe it could be the time of year because of the axis of the earth .Just a guess.

because the sun's gravitational pull is much greater than the earth's...same reason the moon goes around the earth and not the other way around
