what is the distance between the north pole and the south pole?
470171
The polar diameter of the earth is 12,714 km.  So the actual distance between the north and south pole is 12,714km.  The meridional of the earth is 40,008 km (the circumference going around the poles).  So, if you walked, you would walk at least 20,004 km from North to South pole.

The shortest distance between two points on earth is a parabolla called the great circle distance.

South Magnetic Pole\nIs the point on the Earth's surface where the direction of the Earth's magnetic field is vertically upwards. The magnetic dip, the angle between the horizontal plane and the Earth's magnetic field lines, is 90° at the magnetic poles. The south magnetic pole is not fixed and its position moves about 5 kilometres a year presently in a north to northwesterly direction. The location of the south magnetic pole as at February 1998 was 64.59° S and 138.53° E.\n\nGeomagnetic Pole\nEither of two points of intersection of the surface of the Earth with the extended axis of a magnetic dipole which is assumed to be located at the centre of the Earth and approximates the source of the Earth's magnetic field. It should not be confused with the magnetic pole which relates to the actual magnetic field of the Earth. The south geomagnetic pole is at 78° 30' S and 111° E which is near Russia’s Vostok Station.

the average distance between the Earth and the Sun (approximately 150 million km or 93 million miles).

If your in the south pole, everything is going to be north of you so the equator is north of the south pole.

Icelnad is closer to the North Pole thanNew Zeland is from the South Pole because Icelnad is due 600m miles from the North Pole, while New Zeland is 800 some miles from the South Pole.

to find out what's on the opposite side of the globe, take the latitude and longitude of where you start, and apply the following transformation:\n\nlatitude:  change north to south, south to north\nlongitude:  add or subtract 180 degrees\n\nrotterdam is at 51 degrees 55' N latitude and 4 degrees 29' E longitude.  so, directly across the globe is the point at 51 deg 55' S, 175 deg 31' W longitude, which according to google maps, is about 350 miles southeast of the southern tip of new zealand.

Currently, the earth's north magnetic pole moves about 40 kilometers per year.  The rate has varied considerably; it was only 10 km per year a century ago.

The pole in the north direction of earth is the south magnetic pole of earth's magnet.\n\nThe position of magnetic pole is changing but not the pole itself. If the pole cahnges then the magnetic needle in the compass will deflect in the opposite direction.

The earth is not a perfect sphere. It's slightly 'wider' than it is tall, so you could measure the circumference at the equator (24,901.55 miles or 40,075.16 kilometers). If you go through the south and north poles (24,859.82 miles or 40,008 km)

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 . . .).

At the Equator it is 7,926 miles to the Earth's core. To find the distance to the core from other locations on earth you find the circumference at the location and divide that distance by 3.14

Just compare the North Pole and the South Pole. The South pole is on a continent that is mainly a high plateau (and has a higher average elevation than any other continent). The North Pole has a few islands close by, but is mainly sea ice and polynas. The South Pole as a result is markedly colder and drier than the North Pole. The topography at the South pole also creates much stronger winds due to orographic effects.
