That's one way to say it.
Another way is that the earth's axis points at Polaris. That way, you don't have to deal with the subject
of "up" and "down", which doesn't really have any meaning once you leave the earth's surface.
More or less. Polaris is less than one degree from the north pole of the sky (i.e., the extension of Earth's axis). This situation changes over time: due to precession, the alignment of Earth's axis gradually changes.
No. Is located almost directly over the North pole.
polaris lies at the north celestial pole? true or false
No so much, no. The magnetic north pole wanders around some; it is currently in northern Canada.
True
India actually covers TWO time zones, but nations that share the earlier one are the North and East of Pakistan, Sri Lanka, The Maldive Islands and the British Indian Ocean Territory Islands. The later one is chared by Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Eastern Burma, and the North West tips of the two most Easterly islands of Indonesia. N.B. if you were to take that whole slice of longitude from Pole to Pole, to the South would lie the French Southern and Arctic Islands and then just Antarctica, whilst to the North lie Rajastan, Kyrgyztan, most of Kazakhstan, Western China and Mongolia, and part of Central Russia, before the North Pole.
Two countries that lie to the North of India include Nepal and Bhutan. Other countries that are North of India include China and Russia.Two countries that lie to the north of India include China and Tajikistan.
North America and Europe
First Quardrant = North Latitude, East Longitude
No. The Zodiac are 12 constellations that lie in the plane of the ecliptic; circumpolar ("moving around the pole") stars are well above or below the ecliptic.
the north pole lies 90 degrees north
90° North.
90
The North Pole is at 90 degrees North. Oddly enough, the South Pole is at 90 degrees south...
Arctic Ocean
90°N, 0°W
The theoretical midpoint is 45 degrees North. The UK lies mostly at 55 degrees North, making it closer to the North Pole than it is to the Equator. That explains some of the weather.
because the objects exist at different distances from earth.
Most people would think it would be 45 degrees north. Since the earth is not an exact sphere, it would lie nearer 46 degrees north.
There are glaciers in the Arctic, but the North Pole itself is not glaciated. This is because, by their very definition, glaciers are regions of fresh water ice on land, and quite different to sea ice. The North Pole itself does not lie on any land mass, but on a floating ice sheet known as the Greenland or Arctic ice sheet - therefore, there can be no glaciers on the North Pole.
The continents found primarily in the Northern Hemisphere are Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. All of them except Africa lie "right in the middle," as they have land at 45° north latitude, halfway between the equator and the North Pole.
'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are locationsrelatively close to 'True North' and 'True South' which mark the earth's axis of rotation. The terms 'Magnetic North' and 'Magnetic South' are used to differentiate their locations from those of 'True North' and 'True South'. They have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the magnetic polarities of these locations. In fact, the magnetic polarity of 'Magnetic North' is a south pole, and the magnetic polarity of 'Magnetic South' is a north pole. This is why the earth's magnetic field leaves at 'Magnetic South' and enters at 'Magnetic North', causing a compass needle to point along the lines of magnetic flux towards 'Magnetic North'.
