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.

What happens to the night sky when you ere standing on the north pole?
From the North Pole, you would be able to see all the stars in the northern celestial hemisphere constantly throughout the day and night due to the Earth's rotation. The North Star (Polaris) would be directly overhead, appearing stationary. This is because the North Pole is located very close to the Earth's rotational axis, providing a unique view of the night sky.
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.
Can you see the north star in the south pole?
No, the North Star cannot be seen from the South Pole. The North Star is located directly above the North Pole, so it is not visible from locations in the southern hemisphere. Instead, there is a different star called the South Celestial Pole that serves as a reference point for navigation in the southern hemisphere.
Which way does the moon rotate on its axis clockwise or counter-clockwise?
The moon rotates on its axis in the same direction it orbits the Earth, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. This is known as prograde rotation.
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.
Is the moon connected with North Pole?
No it is not
Where does the moon rise on the first day of summer?
north pole
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 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.
How would the Moon look to an observer on the North Pole if the Moon is a Waxing Crescent in the US?
The Moon would appear as a Waxing Crescent to an observer on the North Pole, just as it would to an observer in the US. The phase of the Moon is determined by the relative positions of the Earth, Moon, and Sun, so it is the same regardless of the observer's location on Earth.
Which side of a waxing moon illuminated seen from the north pole?
The right side of a waxing moon is illuminated when seen from the north pole. This is because the moon's light is coming from the sun towards the moon from the right side.
Does the moon orbit the earth in a anticlockwise direction?
Yes, the moon orbits the Earth counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. This is known as retrograde motion.
What is the direction of the moon's revolution?
The moon revolves around the Earth in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the North Pole.
Does the moon have a north and south pole?
Tides are greatest at places on earth where the moon (and the sun) pass directly over. At the right time of year, when the moon and sun basically follow the equator, there will be no tides at the poles. At other times there will be some, though very little tidal action at the poles.
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.
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.
