Your answer depends on where in Antarctica you choose to measure the temperature. Antarctica covers 10% of the planet earth, and is about as large as USA and Mexico combined.
It's a polar climate, so temperatures overall rarely rise above zero degrees F. The coldest temperature recorded on earth was recorded at Vostok Station, Antarctica.
Antarctica is the coldest continent on earth.
What else can I help you with?
What was the temperature in Antarctica like?
Antarctica is always extremely cold.
What is the Fahrenheit temperature of the cold desert?
The coldest temperature ever measured in a cold desert was in Antarctica at -135.8 degrees F.
Why does the ozone layer dissolve above antarctica?
The ozone layer dissolves above Antarctica. It is because of cold temperature there.
Dose the sun refleket on the ic to make it cold in antarctica?
No, but the reflectivity of the ice in Antarctica contributes to some extent to the lowering of the temperature there.
Would a lion be able to live on Antarctica?
No. The temperature is too cold in Antarctica to support wild animals that must live on land.
What is the windchill factor on Antarctica?
Windchill in Antarctica is the same phenomenon as windchill anywhere on earth: the ambient temperature plus the wind speed, determine the windchill temperature. Antarctica is the windiest continent on earth, it is also the coldest continent on earth. With ambient temperatures colder than minus 100 degrees F, and wind speeds up to almost 200 MPH, depending on where you are on the continent, the windchill temperature is cold, very cold or very, very cold. Windchill in Antarctica can be lethal.
Is there a place where there aren't any reptiles?
Antarctica. It's too cold for cold blooded animals to regulate their body temperature
Can geckos live in the antarctica?
Geckos cannot live in antarctica, becase of the weather being to cold, since they have to live in a medium temperature area.
Is Antarctica cold or hot?
Antarctica is cold.
What is the temperature of Antarctica in the spring?
The first day of spring in the Southern Hemisphere is September 21. Antarctica is located in the Southern Hemisphere.
Which continent is also a desert?
Antarctica is also a desert. This is because a 'Desert' is a place with the extreme in temperature, both hot and cold. This means that Antarctica is a cold desert.
Why don't snakes live on Antarctica?
Snakes, and in fact all reptiles, are cold blooded. This means they can't independently increase or decrease their body temperature and need an external source (the sun, for example) to do so. This means Antarctica, with its polar climate, is way too cold for them to survive in. If they did live in Antarctica their blood would freeze up almost instantly. Also, there isn't a stable food source for snakes to survive on in Antarctica. This is why you won't find snakes, or indeed any type of reptile, in Antarctica.
