How do you find the height of a pole if you know how from the pole you are?
two vertical poles of equal height stand on either of a roadway wich is 20 ft wide. At a point in the roadway b/n the poles, the elevation of the taps of the poles are 30 degree and 60 degree. Find the height of the poles?
Are the lines of longitude the same distance apart at the equator as they are at the poles?
No. All of the meridians merge in a single point at the poles.
Where is the minimum distance between two meridianswhy?
the minimium distance between the two meridians is at the poles because all the meridians comerge at the poles
How does a flag poles shadow change over a year?
The shadow of a flag pole changes over a year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the summer, the shadow is shorter at noon as the sun is higher in the sky. In the winter, the shadow is longer at noon as the sun is lower in the sky. Additionally, the length of the shadow will also vary depending on the latitude of the location.
What season is the shadow the longest?
i guess it depends on where you are located. If you're located near one of the poles, a noon shadow could be very long, especially if the days are short and the sun is near setting.
What Measures distance north and south from the eqautor?

Would a shadow be longer noon in winter or noon in summer?
the shadow would be longer in the winter i couldn't tell you why, though
How fast does the shadow of the sun move across the Earth's surface?
The answer is dependent on the Earth's rotation ... not the sun. Thus the answer varies from 1000 mph at the equator to zero at the poles.
What is a theme of geography that starts with the letter L?
Latitude is imaginary lines that measures distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is imaginary lines that measures distance east and west of a line drawn between the North and South Poles and passing through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England.
Why are there different types of totem poles?
entryway poles, ridicule poles and shame poles.
How many degrees that each longitude measures?
Each longitude degree measures approximately 111 kilometers (69 miles) at the equator and gradually decreases as you move towards the poles. At the North and South Poles, a longitude line is reduced to a point.
At 11 a.m. what is the length of your shadow in different parts of the world?
The length of your shadow at 11 a.m. varies depending on your location and the position of the sun in the sky. In general, areas closer to the equator will have shorter shadows due to the more direct angle of the sun's rays, while areas closer to the poles will have longer shadows due to the lower angle of the sun.
Does the earth spin on its true poles or magnetic poles?
The Earth spins on its true or geographic poles, which are the points where the planet's axis of rotation intersects its surface. The magnetic poles, on the other hand, are where the Earth's magnetic field lines are perpendicular to its surface, and they do not coincide exactly with the geographic poles.
How tall were totem poles?
They can be all kinds of sizes! Some can be like... say 50 ft or more tall. But not all are huge! You can get some that are a few inches tall!
How many telephone poles in a mile?
