== == The perimeter of the equator is the greatest because the earth is a flattened sphere shape due to the influence of centrifugal force - a result of its rotation. The tropic of Cancer is slightly greater than the Tropic of Capricorn as there is a majority of continental land in the north. Land has a higher elevation than sea and to go around it you have to go to a higher elevation (radius) which means a greater perimeter. The north south distance is the least as it is a straight line.

How do you find the distance between two integers using the difference?
The difference (greater minus lesser) is the distance between them.
Is distance between two distinct points on the real number line is always greater than zero?
Yes, because the distance is a metric which is defined in that way.
Are speed and distance directly proportional or inversely proportional?
Directly proportional. Greater speed - greater distance.
Which distance is greater 5.1 km or 5001 m?
5.1 km is the greater distance.5001 m = 5.001 km < 5.1 km
How is the circumference of the inner circle is 44 feet. the distance between the inner circle and the outer circle is 3 feet. by how many feet is the circumference of the outer circle greater than th?
It is greater by 18.8 feet.
What is a greater distance the equator or the tropic of Capricorn?
The equator is a longer imaginary line.
Which distance is greater the distance between the North and South poles or the distance around the Tropic of Capricorn?
The distance around the Tropic of Capricorn is greater.
What city is the greater distance from the equator Brisbane or Perth?
Perth!!
Is it a greater distance from center of earth to the poles or center of earth to the equator?
I'm thinking center to equator
Is there any difference between the value of g at the equator and the poles?
it is greater at poles than equator
How was the meter defined in 1971?
Until 1983 the metre was defined at one ten millionth of the distance from the equator to the north pole. That definition has changed to reflect greater understanding and knowledge. Originally, the meter was based on the distance between the equator and the north pole along the meridian that went through Paris. That distance was set at 10,000 kilometers and the metre was ten millionth of the distance.
What causes greater thermal conduction at the earth's surface?
The earth is spherical, causing different distance to the sun. The middle part of the earth known as the Equator, is the closet to the sun, causing higher temperature than the other parts, the Tropics Of Cancer and Capricorn are above and below the Equator causing low temperature than that of the equator. And followed by the Arctic and Antarctic region, which are the coldest part of the earth because they are the farthest from the sun.
Which distance is greater?
The distance between the North and South poles
Is the altitude of the tropopause greater at the equator than at the poles or at the poles than at the equator?
It is greater at the Equator. The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere varying in altitude from approximately 8 kilometers (5 miles) at the poles to approximately 18 kilometers (11 miles) at the equator.
Why is distance around the equator measured at 24783mi when the distance around the earth is measured at 24901 mi?
The earth is slightly wider than it is tall, so the measurement around the equator is going to be a just over a hundred miles greater than the distance around the earth.
How does a locations latitude determine how warm or cold it is?
The latitude can be thought of as the distance from the equator. 0 degrees latitude is the equator, which is typically warmer than locations closer than the poles. As you move away from the Equator and towards the North or South poles, the weather tends to be colder. In contrast, the region between the poles and the equator often has a greater temperature range variation.
How does distance between two objects affect the way they move?
If the objects are not tied together, and if the gravitational forces between them are negligible in their current environment, then the distance between them has no effect whatsoever on their motion.
