Of or pertaining to one of the poles of the earth, or of a sphere; situated near, or proceeding from, one of the poles; as, polar regions; polar seas; polar winds.

Of or pertaining to the magnetic pole, or to the point to which the magnetic needle is directed.

The right line drawn through the two points of contact of the two tangents drawn from a given point to a given conic section. The given point is called the pole of the line. If the given point lies within the curve so that the two tangents become imaginary, there is still a real polar line which does not meet the curve, but which possesses other properties of the polar. Thus the focus and directrix are pole and polar. There are also poles and polar curves to curves of higher degree than the second, and poles and polar planes to surfaces of the second degree.

a climatic zone noted for sparse precipitation in all seasons and temperatures below 10° C for 12 months.

extremely cold; "an arctic climate"; "a frigid day"; "gelid waters of the North Atlantic"; "glacial winds"; "icy hands"; "polar weather"

temperatures below 32°F most of the time, with little or no precipitation.

Satellite launched on February 24, 1996 by NASA in the Global Geospace Science project. Polar is an atmospheric studies satellite in polar orbit. One purpose of Polar is to gather information that will help scientists protect future satellites from radiation and other atmospheric dangers.

Polar is a NASA satellite designed to study the Aurora. It is distinguished by its ability to image the Aurora in several wavelengths: Visible light, Ultaviolet (UV) light and X-rays.

Polar, or K, is Kjetil Dale Sagstad, a Norwegian electronic music artist. He is originally from Meland in Norway, and grew up with his former musical partner Teebee. Together they started Subtitles Recordings, which Teebee now runs by himself.

having a pair of equal and opposite charges

characterized by opposite extremes; completely opposed; "in diametric contradiction to his claims"; "diametrical (or opposite) points of view"; "opposite meanings"; "extreme and indefensible polar positions"

Linear polarizing film (such as a dichroic or Polaroid filter) is often referred to as a polar, particular when utilized as a polarizer or analyzer in producing and analyzing polarized light in DIC microscopy.

Crash Bandicoot series.

A hydrophilic (water-loving) chemical group.

Compounds, solvents or bonded phases that either dissolve in water or prefer water to non-polar organic solvents such as hexane.

A Polar (also AM Herculis Star) is a type of cataclysmic variable binary star system with a very strong magnetic field.

A continuous build system for Erlang/OTP Projects.

Pertaining to, reckoned from, or having a common radiating point; as, polar coördinates.

Way of describing light output in 2-dimensional space. Plotted as output in candela vs. angle.

gene conversion A gradient of conversion frequency along the length of a gene.

a curve that shows what sink you got at what speed
