They both have polar weather conditions and climate, are near the northernmost or southernmost points of the earth. Both circle a pole (North or South pole), and are the same approximate distance from the equator. They're both located at approximately 66° 33' 44" latitude (North and South, respectively -- and they wobble with the Earth's wobble). Also, they both mark the extremities of Polar Day where there is a 24 hour period of sunlight and a 24 hour period of darkness at least once a year.
They both support sea life, but each also has unique lifeforms adapted to the climate. Humpback whales, and krill swim in both the Arctic and the Southern Oceans.
Arctic is North on the globe/earth.
Antarctic is in the south.
They both enclose lots of ice. They both have names starting with the letter 'A': they are both cold and icy.
The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are alike because of their polar climates, magnetism, wildlife, and locations. They both have freezing climates and wildlife, especially with sperm whales traveling back and forth between them. They are also both located at 66.5 degrees latitude on maps. Both also contain magnetic poles that are part of the magnetic field on the planet.

∙ 10y agoThe Arctic Circle lies at 66° 33′ 44″ north of the Equator. The Antarctic Circle lies at 66° 33′ 44″ south of the Equator. They are alike, because they mark the position on earth north or south of which during at least one 24-hour period, there is no sunrise or sunset.

∙ 8y agoThe Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle, are both at the 66o30' parallel of latitude on the surface of the Earth, but the Arctic Circle is at 66o30'N and the Antarctic Circle is at 66o30'S. Each marks the limit of the area in which the Sun neither sets on the summer solstice nor rises on the winter solstice.
Both the Antarctic and the Arctic circles represent latitudes on Earth beyond which the geography experiences at least one 24-hour period per year of no sunrise/ sunset.
