How long would it take to walk to the North Pole from the moon?

The Earth is approximately 239,000 miles from the moon. Assuming a person walks an average of 3 miles an hour, and takes no breaks, just keeps walking, and supposing a person could walk through the vacuum of space, then 239,000miles/3 = 79,667 hours. We then divide 79,667 by 24 to convert this figure to days and get 3,319 days. 3,319 divided by 365.25 (the number of days in a year) leaves us with 9.088 years. So the answer is approximately 9 years + (365 x .088). 9 years and 32 days, assuming a steady pace of 3 mph.

Does the moon have a magnetic pole?
The Moon has a solid core, and therefore has no magnetic field or poles.
Can you see the north star in the south pole?
No, just as you cannot see the Earth turning from any other part of the Earth. Your view, relative to its size, is simply too small to be able to notice is rotation. However, one way you can get an idea of its motion in space is to spin around very quickly and become dizzy. Your body's loss of balance is actually because it is temporarily unable to adjust to the motion of the Earth.
What part of the earth is the northern hemisphere?
It depends. There are two ways the Earth can be divided into hemispheres - North/South and East/West. If you mean North/South, the North Pole is clearly in the Northern Hemisphere. If you mean East/West, it is on the dividing line between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, so it is in both hemispheres (or neither, depending on how you look at it). That's if you're talking about the Geographic North Pole, the point where the Earth's axis of rotation meets the Earth's surface. But "North Pole" could also mean the North Magnetic Pole (which is technically, in magnetism terms, a magnetic south pole). The North Magnetic Pole is the point at which the Earth's magnetic field points vertically downards. Though close to the Geographic North Pole, it is not in exactly the same position. It's still, of course, in the Northen Hemisphere, if you're dividing the Earth horizontally. But, if you're dividing the Earth vertically, unlike the Geographic North Pole, the North Magnetic Pole is clearly in the Western Hemisphere, at approximately 82.7oN, 114.4oW (as estimated in 2005). Then again, if you're talking about the North Magnetic Pole in terms of actual physical magnetism, the magnetic north pole of the Earth's magnetic field is actually what we call the South Magnetic Pole. This is not directly opposite the North Magnetic Pole, but lies at approximately 64.5oS, 137.9oE. This puts the magnetic north pole in the Southern Hemisphere (if dividing the Earth horizontally) and in the Eastern Hemisphere (if dividing it vertically). It is worth noting, however, that the terms "North" and "South" were used geographically long before they were used magnetically. When the pioneers of magnetism applied the terms to magnets, they did not fully understand the Earth's magnetic field, and thus named the poles of a magnet backward from how the Earth's magnetic field works . By the time they figured it out, the term "north pole", as applied to a magnetic field, was too established to change. However, if they had known at the time they named the poles of a magnetic field, how the Earth's magnetic field works, they would have named them so that the North Pole of the Earth's magnetic field was somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere. So, I believe it's fair to say that, since the geographers invented the term, we should defer to them on which pole is which.
What would June 21 and December 21 be like on the north pole and the equator?
June 21, North Pole: Bright sun 24 hours, snow everywhere, but feels warm or cool. June 21, Equator: 12 hours day, hot and steamy; 12 hours night, hot and steamy. December 21, North Pole: Night 24 hours, snow everywhere, feels very cold, sometimes a bright moon and aurora. December 21, Equator: 12 hours day, hot and steamy; 12 hours night, hot and steamy.
What is the space probe that found water on the Moon's south pole?
water hasn't been found on the moon
Is the moon connected with North Pole?
No it is not
Where does the moon rise on the first day of summer?
north pole
Does the moon stay above the North Pole?
No, the Moon orbits the middle of the Earth, not quite over the equator but over the tropics. The "pole star" Polaris is nearly over the North Pole, and other stars are closer at various times of the year.
Why doesn't magnetic North Pole align exactly with the geographic North Pole?
The moon's orbit affects the magnetic field surrounding the earth.
Does the Moon travel clockwise around the Earth?
That would depend on from where you are observing:No, it travels counter-clockwise (as viewed from above what we call the North Pole).From space 'below' the South Pole looking towards the Earth-Moon system it would appear that yes, the Moon travels in a clockwise direction.You must always define your frame of reference when speaking about motion of objects in space!
Which side of a waxing moon illuminated seen from the north pole?
it apperes like the waxing moon is the other way
What would the moon look like in NJ if you see a half moon at the north pole?
In that case, you would also see a half moon if you could see the moon at all. The moon is in the same phase for everywhere on Earth, so if you can see it at all, you're seeing it in the same phase that anyone else on Earth is seeing.
How would the Moon look to an observer on the North Pole if the Moon is a Waxing Crescent in the US?
Everybody on Earth who can see the moon at any particular moment sees the same phase. The distance across the Earth, is not far, compared to the distance to the moon, for there to be any perceivable change in perspective.
Does the moon have anything to do with the north and south pole?
Yes, it helps keep the poles steady. Joe Collingwood:P
When you may see moon from India and USA at same time?
Might be impossible but if it were at the north pole you could.
How many satellites does Ganymede have?
Ganymede Jupiter's moon has 6 satellites in total from the north Pole on the Earth.
Does the earth's axis pass through the moon?
No, the earth's axis never passes through the moon. In order for that to happen, the moon's orbit would have to pass directly over the north pole, or over the south pole. The moon's orbit is not precisely over the equator, but it doesn't stray from earth's middle by very much. The angle of inclination of the moon relative to the equator can be as large as about 29 degrees. See the link for more information.
