How thick is the Earth from the North Pole to the South Pole?

How thick is the Earth from the North Pole to the South Pole?

Earth is slightly smaller when measured between the North and South Poles which gives a diameter of 7,907 miles (12,725 kilometers). Earth bulges out a bit more around the equator than around the poles because of its rotation (spin).

How is the Earth’s surface different at the North Pole versus the South Pole?

Besides location, another major difference between the two poles is that “the South Pole has Antarctica as a land mass, while the North Pole is located in the Arctic Ocean,” Urban said. At the North Pole, the Arctic Ocean is also very cold and has a layer of pack ice on the ocean surface.

Is South Pole colder than North Pole?

The Short Answer: Both the Arctic (North Pole) and the Antarctic (South Pole) are cold because they don’t get any direct sunlight. However, the South Pole is a lot colder than the North Pole.

Why is the North Pole stronger than the South Pole?

The magnetic field of a bar magnet is strongest at either pole of the magnet. It is equally strong at the north pole when compared with the south pole. The field lines are closely packed at either pole of the magnet, widening as they get farther from the pole and connecting to the opposite pole of the magnet.

Why can’t we go to the South Pole?

Antarctica is the only continent on Earth without a native human population. Since no country owns Antarctica, no visa is required to travel there.

What is the real diameter of the earth?

12,756 kilometers
The diameter of the Earth at the equator is 12,756 kilometers (km).

Why can’t we go to the North Pole?

The North Pole is beyond the Exclusive Economic Zone of any country. This makes the surface and the water column International Waters. This should allow anyone to travel to the pole by sea or air. The routes to the North Pole will require innocent passage through the territory of some sovereign nation.

Is it harder to get to the north or south pole?

In reality, traveling to the North Pole is quite a different experience than the South. It is in fact, much harder. In contrast to having an actual continent under all of that ice, at the North Pole, there is only the Arctic Ocean, which in turn has massive slabs of ice floating on its surface.

Why is Antarctica so dry?

The mean annual temperature of the interior is −57 °C (−70.6 °F). The coast is warmer; on the coast Antarctic average temperatures are around −10 °C (14.0 °F) (in the warmest parts of Antarctica) and in the elevated inland they average about −55 °C (−67.0 °F) in Vostok.

Which pole is the strongest?

The magnetic field generated by any magnet is always strongest at either pole. The magnetic force is equally as strong at both the north and south pole. If I use two magnets to attract to each other, is the total attracting force equal to that of both of the individual pull forces of each magnet combined?

What is the most powerful electromagnet in the world?

The strongest continuous magnetic fields on Earth have been produced by Bitter magnets. As of 31 March 2014 the strongest continuous field achieved by a room temperature magnet is 37.5 T produced by a Bitter electromagnet at the Radboud University High Field Magnet Laboratory in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
