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.
Antarctic Circle
The Arctic and the Antarctic
The Arctic Circle is located in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere. The Arctic Circle surrounds the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle has Arctic tundra vegetation, while the Antarctic Circle is largely covered in ice.

The Antarctic Circle
The Antarctic Circle only passes through Antarctica. The Arctic Circle passes through Asia, Europe and North America. The Arctic passes through 3 continents and the Antarctic only passes through Antarctica The Arctic Circle
They are called the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle.
There is a continent south of the Antarctic Circle, while the Arctic Circle surrounds sea ice.
A polar circle is either the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle.
