what is colder the north pole or the south pole of the earth?

Answer 1

hey buddy! hello.
we all know that the earth rotates around the sun and also on its own axis. we also know that an imaginary line divides the earth into 2 equal halves. this line is the equator. the upper part is the north side and the lower is the south side. the axis of the earth does not run perpendicularly, but is tilted at an angle of about 16 degrees (if i remember it correctly)

now, as the earth rotates simultaneously on its axis and around the sun, it so happens that sun rays fall on one side that is either on north or on south side for continuous 6 months. this means that there is day for continuous 6 onths on one side and night on the other. so, it totaly depends that at what time of a year you r comparing both the poles temperature. if you compare the temperature of the 2 sides in the month of june, north pole will be hotter and south pole will be cooler. opposite happens during december and january.
at a certain time it may also happen that temperatures of both the poles are same! this may happen at the time of transit. that is when sunshine is equal to both the poles!

hope i have answered u.

good luck.

Answer 2

The South Pole

Answer 3

The correct answer is the South Pole. The average yearly temperature there is minus 58 degrees Fahrenheit, while at the North Pole, it's a balmy zero.

The difference is that the North Pole is located on a relatively thin sheet of sea ice in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, and all that water has a regulating effect on the air above it, cooling it down in the summer and warming it up in the winter. This causes the sea ice to grow and shrink depending on the season, which, in turn, affects the air temperature at the pole itself. In contrast, the South Pole is located on top of several thousand feet of thick ice, which sit on top of the continent of Antarctica, so the ice never gets a chance to melt. Plus, Antarctica is the highest continent on earth, and the South Pole is a whopping mile and a half above sea level, which also accounts for the colder temperatures.

Answer 4

The South Pole.

Answer 5

Both The North & South Pole.Because The North Pole has nothing above it and The South Pole has nothing below it.In the middle of Earth is Asia,Europe,North America,South America,Austrialia.Those continents are warm continents than Antartica.Antartica is a cold place where nobody lives in there except animals such as polar bears,penguins,seals, and whales.

Answer 6

South Pole is much warmer. North Pole is open ocean which freezes in winter (and is mostly ice in summer). But it can;t get too cold because of the unfrozen water which is 0degC. South Pole is in the middle of a huge white high plateau. Because of the hight and all teh snow reflecting the suns heat, the South Pole gets much colder. See reference for more detailed answer.

Answer 7

It actually depends on the time of year. In the winter time in north America, it's hotter in the south pole than the north pole.

The world is divided into hemispheres. and the earth's axis are at an angle, that's how we get our seasons when we revolve around the sun annually

But the south pole's winter is colder because there's less pollution and less land mass to produce heat

Answer 8

South pole

Answer 9

The South pole.

July is the North Pole's warmest month, when the mean temperature rises to a freezing 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius). In frigid February the average plummets to -31 degrees Fahrenheit (-35 degrees Celsius).

South pole mean temps: Mean Temps:
Winter: -40 to -94°F (-40 to -70°C)
Summer: -5 to -31°F (-15 to -35°C)

Answer 10

I say both are the same. This is because the North and the South Pole get almost the same amount of sunlight and are equal in distance away from the equator.
