What happens if you stand on the magnetic north pole with a compass? My science teacher asks us to do this extra credit question.

How can a plane that takes off from the North Pole land in a city at the equator? This question puzzles me... Because the Earth is round and is spinning, someone standing at the North Pole is actually moving 1000 mph slower than someone standing at the equator even though both are standing still relative to the Earth. This is because it takes a 24 hrs to do one revolution and one revolution is 24,000 miles more at the equator than at the North Pole ( 1ft / 24 hrs ~ 0 mph but 24,000 miles / 24 hrs = 1000 mph). So how can a passenger jet, which can't travel faster than roughly 600 mph, not counting the Concorde, that takes off from the North Pole, or South Pole, catch up and land on a runway that is traveling at 1000 mph?

How close must you be to the North Pole to see it from a plane at an altitude of 10,000 meters? Please account for these factors: 1. The radius of the earth is less at the poles. 2. The flattening effect of the earth's rotational spin also makes the earth's surface at the poles flatter resulting in a horizon further away. 3. The refraction of light through the earth's atmosphere allows me to see slightly below the geometric edge of the horizon. 4. You are not directly above the North Pole, you are actually a short distance away. What is the maximum distance from the North Pole you can be (at an altitude of 10,000 meters) and still see it? This will not be the exact same number as if you were above the pole since the flattest part of the planet is on the horizon, not straight down. I was in an airplane which flew nearly over the north pole, but not quite. I found out when the plane was at it's closest point, pointed my camera out the window due north, and took a few shots. I simply want to find out if I have a picture of the north pole or not!

When standing at the North Pole, which direction is North? Since to my understanding North is the direction pointing to the North pole, it seems like when you are actually at that point, North would be undefined since there is no direction to point to. If however, North is defined in reference to South, then it would be pointing up from the North pole - which is actually away from the North Pole. It therefore seems to me like it is undefined at that point?

The ship and aircraft traffic is increasing tremendeously over the north pole and the glaciers in the north.

This together is increasing the melting speed of the glaciers that leads to weather changes as well as greenhouse effects.
