GEOGRAPHY

  • Geographical Pole , either of two fixed points on the surface of a spinning body or planet, at 90 degrees from the equator, based on the axis around which a body spins

  • --- Polar Circle , a circle of latitude where the sun is above and below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year

  • --- Polar Climate , the climate of the polar regions, characterized by a lack of warm summers

  • --- Polar Region , the region within the polar circles, referred to as the Arctic and Antarctic

  • Polar, Wisconsin , a town in Langlade County, Wisconsin, United States



SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS

  • Chemical Polarity , a concept in chemistry which describes how equally bonding electrons are shared between atoms

  • Intermediate Polar , a type of cataclysmic variable binary star system

  • Polar (cataclysmic Variable) , a strongly magnetic cataclysmic variable star system

  • Polar Body , a cell structure found inside an ovum, produced during oogenesis

  • Polar Coordinate System , a coordinate system in which points are given by an angle and a distance from the pole, or central point equivalent to the origin in the Cartesian coordinate system

  • Polar Curve (aviation) , a graph of the rate of sink versus the horizontal speed of an aircraft

  • Polar Membrane , either 1) a lipid bilayer membrane displaying polarity or 2) a specialized region of the bacterial cell membrane associated with the flagella (usually located at the cell poles)

  • Polar Set , in Functional Analysis , a set whose compact subsets have h-capacity 0 for all h > 0
