Poles Walking Sticks
Is my theory flawed about Earth?
Alright, In Grade 8 I had thought of this awesome theory that involves going around the world. If you were to fly around the equator it would take longer than if you had to fly around the top of the world (because it has a smaller diameter). So wouldn't that mean if I found the very tip of the world (Where all the latitude lines meet), stuck a pole in the ground and walked around the pole three times, would I have gone around the world three times?
Also... Elaborate your answer, don't just say no.
Yes, it is flawed. In order to "walk around the world", you would have to follow a Great Circle. Great Circles are globular circular lines that connect two points on the surface of the globe with a third point in the center of the globe. There is only one circle of latitude that is a Great Circle, and it is called the Equator. All lines of longitude are on Great Circles. Since you are at the North Pole, you would have to walk south along a line of longitude to the South Pole and back to the North Pole on the line of longitude that is 180 degrees from the line on which you started walking..
