Do you live nearer the equator or the pole?

I have absolutely no idea... all I know is that I live near Chicago and to me it is the center of the world....

I would suppose nearer the North Pole

I just checked my atlas and confirmed my suspicion that I'm geographically closer to the North Pole than to the Equator. Of course, this time of year, anyone with any connection with believing children has close emotional ties to the North Pole.

i think i live on the equator (it feels like it) It is 80 degrees outside mid-december

The pole.

Nope, I live in central New Jersey.

The Equator? I don't know. My globe is across town.

Northpole I think.

Nearer the North pole, but not by much. The 45th parallel runs about 30 miles south of me.

My town is at latitude 38.9N and longitude 77.3W, so I seem to be closer to the equator than the north pole. I think.

I'm not sure, I think I'm inbetween.

Had to get the atlas out for this one and it looks like Maryland is a bit closer to the equator.

Ya got me. There's a pole out in front of my house...so I guess I'd have to say I live nearer to the pole. (I can't really be bothered much with geographics)

Pole, northern variety.

Hello again! I live nearer to the north pole than to the equator. I live in the United States, and am proud of being an American.

Well, I've been out of school for a LONG time but I believe I'm closer to the pole.Is this a trick question?

Rose

I have no idea....I'm guessing the pole.

Jennifer, 20

Hard call. About in the middle, probably.

Talia, 24
Wilton

Just about in the center between the equator and the North Pole.

I'm not sure, actually. I have two homes right now: one is in Southern California and the other is in Central Connecticut. I'm pretty sure Connecticut is closer to the North pole than the equator, but I think Los Angeles is about in between. I'm not sure about that, though.

the chilly pole

I think I live nearer the equator but it's pretty close to being in the middle of the two.
