The noun pole and adjective polar may refer to multiple things.
- A pole is a long and straight stick, usually vertical or intended to be used vertically. See barber, pole vault, pole (object).
- A pole is also a unit of length, also called a rod or a perch, equal to 5.5 yards or 16.5 feet (5.029 meters in SI units).
- The geographical poles of the Earth, or other planet, are the points where its axis of rotation passes through its surface. See also: North Pole, South Pole, polar region.
- The pole of inaccessibilityThe pole of inaccessibility marks a polar location that is the most challenging to reach owing to its remoteness from geographical features which could provide access. The term is of interest mostly to explorers and conspiracy theorists. Southern Pole of.
- The celestial poleThe two celestial poles are the imaginary points where the Earth's spin axis intersects the celestial sphere. The sky appears to drift overhead from east to west, completing a full circuit around the sky in 24 ( sidereal) hours. This phenomenon is due tos are the ends of the celestial sphereIn astronomy and navigation, the celestial sphere is an imaginary rotating sphere of "gigantic radius", concentric with the Earth. All objects in the sky can be thought of as lying upon the sphere. Projected, from their corresponding terran equivalents, a.
- A magnetic pole is one end of a magnetThis article is about magnetized material. Magnet is also the name of a commune in the Allier departement, in France A magnet is an object that has a magnetic field. A so-called permanent magnet is made of a ferromagnetic material. Such materials consist.
- In chemistryChemistry is the science of matter and its interactions with energy (see physics, biology). Because of the diversity of matter (which is mostly atomic), Chemists are often engaged in the pursuit of studying how atoms interact to form molecules, and how mo, a polar molecule is one that has concentrations of electric charge, see polar moleculewater ( H O). The electrons of water's hydrogen atoms are strongly attracted to the oxygen atom, and are actually closer to oyxgen's nucleus than to the hydrogen nuclei; thus, water has a relatively strong negative charge in the middle (red shade), and a.
- In mathematicsMathematics is commonly defined as the study of patterns of structure, change, and space; more informally, one might say it is the study of "figures and numbers". In the formalist view, it is the investigation of axiomatically defined abstract structures:
