in distance what is the ten million,th between the north pole and the equator called .?

That was the old definition of a metre. It was later changed because somehow they determined it wasn't accurate (like the distance between those two points became ten million and two metres.) I believe the current definition of a metre is the distance light travels in 1/299792458 of a second, but I've also heard it defined in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a krypton laser.

The diameter of the earth at the equator is 7,926.41 miles

the circumference of the earth\nat the equator is 24,902 mi / 40,076 km.

The north pole is not on a continent.  It is in the middle of the arctic ocean which has a frozen ice cap.

It depends a lot on how high above the water your eyes are and how tall the distant object is.\n\nThe radius of the Earth at the equator is 6378135 meters.  Assume your eyes are 2 meters above sea-level, and the distant object is at sea-level.\n\nYou have a right triangle, where the longer leg is the radius of the Earth, and the hypotenuse is 6378315 + 2.  The shorter leg is the distance to the horizon.\n\nThe distance to the horizon = √(6378317^2 - 6378315^2) = 5051 meters, or about 3 miles.\n\n\nIf the distant object is 2 meters above sea-level, then it'll disappear when it's another 3 miles past the horizon, or 6 miles from you.

At the equator, a second equals approximately 1520 feet.

The difference comes because of the tilt of our planet in space. Our planet is leaned to one side on her orbit around the Sun and around her central os. So, one of the poles (in this case the north pole) is farther away from the Sun, than is the south pole. And so is with all the areas inbetween on both sides of the equator.\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=Earth%2Bwobble

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

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

Latitude is used to measure how far north or south a location is, based on its distance from the equator, which is the imaginary line (or circle) that runs around the earth, equally distant from the north and the south poles. (The Equator gets its name from being EQUAL distance apart from the poles). \n\nFrom the Equator to the north pole, the distance is broken into 90 degrees of measurement, and likewise, from the Equator to the South Pole.\n\nWhile the Equator and other "lines of latitude" help measure  north-south location, the lines themselves extend in the east-west direction as they represent every point on the earth that is that distance from the equator. These lines are often called PARALLELS, because they are all parallel to the equator. You can have a parallel at any measure of latitude, such as the 10 degrees north parallel or the 42 degrees south parallel. \n\nSome parallels have special names. Besides the Equator, there are four parallels which have significance for the earth's rotation and seasons. In the northern hemisphere, the Tropic of Cancer is the line or circle of latitude that is 23.5 degrees north, and the Arctic Circle is 66.5 degrees north. In the southern hemisphere, the Tropic of Capricorn is 23.5 degrees south, and the Antarctic Circle is 66.5 degrees south. Because the earth's axis is at an angle to the sun, we have seasons, and these lines show where the sun's location will be or not be on particular seasonal changes. Use the first link to learn more about these lines.\n\nOther parallels have historical significance. When the Korean War ended in a stalemate, the country was divided into North and South Korea roughly along the 38th parallel (that means everything north of the 38 degrees north parallel belonged to North Korea, and everything south of  that parallel belonged to South Korea). In the 1800s, the 49th parallel (north) is what was used to determine the boundary between the United States and the British colony of Canada, west of the Great Lakes, and so most of the current US-Canada border is a line along the 49th parallel.\n\nAll lines (or circles) of latitude can be called parallels.

Apart from the North Pole, there is a countable infinity of circumferences parallel to the equator, in which each point has this property. They are:\n- The circumference which distance from the South pole (> 1 mile) is such that when you go 1 mile south and then east, you run on a smaller closed circle exactly 1 time (it is long 1 mile), so that you hit the same point and go up via the same meridian.\n- The circumference in which the construction above leads to a smaller circle exactly 1/2 miles long.\n- ... and so on, with 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, etc.

At the equator, about 1000 mph, at the poles not much.\n\nhttp://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=665

depends.....at the equator, from the surface to sea level, it is 6,378.135 km. from the centre to the north or south pole, at sea level, it is 6,356.750 km. remember, both of those are to sea level, and they differ because the world is not a perfect sphere.

There are actually four north poles. Neither of them have a sign as the some of the poles tend to woble. They are as follows:\nThe North Magnetic Pole – the point on the Earth's surface where the Earth's magnetic field points directly downwards. This pole is constantly wandering; its estimated 2005 position was 82.7° N 114.4° W. \nThe North Geomagnetic Pole – the point of intersection of the Earth's surface with the axis of a simple magnetic dipole (like a bar magnet) that best approximates the Earth's actual more complex magnetic field. Like the North Magnetic Pole it constantly wanders; as of 2005 it was located at approximately 79.74° N 71.78° W. \nThe Northern Pole of Inaccessibility – the point in the Arctic Ocean farthest from land, at 84°03′N 174°51′W. \nThe North Celestial Pole – an imaginary point in the northern sky towards which the Earth's axis of rotation points.

Being 9.54 Astrononical units (93,000,000 miles is one AU or our distance form Earth to the Sun), it does depend on if we are on the same side of the sun.Same side we are 8.5 AU away, opposite side 10.5 AU away.
