A geographical pole is either of the two points on a planet, dwarf planet or natural satellite, or a "large" rotating body or sphere where the body's axis of rotation intersects its surface. As with Earth's North and South Poles, they are usually called that body's "north pole" and "south pole", one lying 90 degrees in one direction from the body's equator and the other lying 90 degrees in the opposite direction from the equator.
