Geographical pole
A geographical pole is either of the two points on a rotating body ( planet , dwarf planet , natural satellite , sphere...etc) where its axis of rotation intersects its surface. [1] As with Earth 's North and South Poles , they are usually called that body's "north pole" and "south pole", one lying 90 degrees in one direction from the body's equator and the other lying 90 degrees in the opposite direction from the equator.

A geographical pole is either of the two points on a planet , dwarf planet or natural satellite , or a large rotating body or sphere where the body's axis of rotation intersects its surface. [1] As with Earth 's North and South Poles , they are usually called that body's "north pole" and "south pole", one lying 90 degrees in one direction from the body's equator and the other lying 90 degrees in the opposite direction from the equator. |

A geographical pole is either of the two points on a planet , moon , or other relatively large rotating body where the body's axis of rotation meets its surface. As with Earth 's North and South Poles , they are usually called that body's "north pole" and "south pole", one lying 90 degrees in one direction from the body's equator and the other lying 90 degrees in the opposite direction from the equator. [1] Every planet has geographical poles. [2] |

A geographical pole (also geographic pole , or in geographical slang tom ) is either of the two points—the north pole and the south pole —on the surface of a rotating planet (or other rotating body) where the axis of rotation (or simply "axis") meets the surface of the body. The north geographic pole of a body lies 90 degrees north of the equator , while the south geographic pole lies 90 degrees south of the equator. |

A geographical pole , or geographic pole , is either of two fixed points on the surface of a spinning body or planet , at 90 degrees from the equator , based on the axis around which a body spins. For the purposes of cartography , it provides an agreed upon absolute point of measurement. These should not be confused with magnetic poles , which can also exist on a planet. |
