No, less than five cm per annum on average.
Two continents receive less precipitation than Australia: Antarctica and Africa. Antarctica is the driest continent, while Africa experiences varying levels of precipitation across its different regions.
A desert is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of annual precipitation on average. Both the Sahara and Antarctica receive even less precipitation so are considered as deserts.
Average humidity on Antarctica is about five percent. Annual precipitation is minimal -- single digit inches -- and most precipitation evaporates or freezes before hitting the ground.
Antarctica is considered the rainiest continent on Earth, but most of this precipitation falls as snow rather than rain. The coastal regions of Antarctica receive the most precipitation due to their proximity to the Southern Ocean.
not a lot. its all snow :D
Both are deserts that receive little precipitation each year. The Sahara is a hot desert whie the Antarctic is a cold desert.
Antarctica's average annual precipitation is 6.5 inches, which technically makes it a desert.
Yes, it is possible for a place with very little rain to still receive a lot of precipitation if other forms of precipitation, such as snow or hail, are taken into account. The total amount of precipitation includes not only rain but also these other types of water condensation in the atmosphere.
Antarctica and the Atacama Desert receive virtually no precipitation each year and are the two driest regions on earth.
The continent with the lowest average annual precipitation is Antarctica.
There is no 'drought cycle' in Antarctica: Antarctica is always dry with little or no precipitation.
The three continents that receive the least amount of rainfall are Antarctica, Australia, and Africa. Antarctica is the driest continent overall, while Australia's interior is notably arid. Africa's deserts, such as the Sahara, also experience extremely low precipitation.
