It helps to regulate the planets temperature. If there were no polar ice, the heat from the sun would cause the temperature to climb much more rapidly. The warmer air at the equator rises, which 'sucks in' colder air from the polar regions regions. This cycle is continuous, regulating the planets temperature all year round.
What else can I help you with?
Is antarctica a continent covered by ice and snow just like the arctic?
yes, with exception that the arctic's ice is melting
How much snow is there in Antarctica compared to Arctic?
The Arctic is a sea bed: Antarctica is a continent, and a desert with less than five percent humidity. Snow in the Arctic collects on sea ice or melts when it falls into the Arctic Ocean. There is no snow in Antarctica, rather ice crystals that blow in the constant wind.
What are the major sources of water in arctic tundra?

When was Arctic Snow created?
Arctic Snow was created in 1968 by Don Firth. It is a Canadian company that produces premium ice melt products for winter weather conditions.
How long do Arctic foxes drink water?
They break open ice with their sharp claws and lick the water out of the water :)ICE!
What sort of habitat surrounds polar bears?
Ice and snow, like in the Arctic.
What is the extra padding on polar bears?
Polar bears have thick layers of fur which keeps them warm amongst all the snow and ice that they have in the Arctic. They also have lots of blubber underneath this fur for warmth. On their feet, they have special pads which help them not to slip on the ice and to help them catch their fish. Their claws also help them grip on the snow and ice. These are all ways in which they have adapted to the environment that they are in.
What part of earth is frozen?
the north pole, the Arctic, ice land, basically any countries that have ice or snow :)
What is the water cycle of the Arctic?
In the Arctic, the water cycle is similar to other regions but with some unique features due to the extreme cold temperatures. Water from the Arctic Ocean evaporates, forming sea ice and snow. Melting sea ice and snow contribute to freshwater sources in the region, while precipitation can fall as snow or rain. The frozen nature of the Arctic means that water storage in ice caps and glaciers is significant in this region.
Why are arctic wolves white?
Think about where they live. It is in snow and ice which is white. They can hide in the environment.
What would happen to arctic foxes if the snow and ice melted?
Arctic foxes rely on snow and ice for hunting, camouflage, and denning. If the snow and ice melted, it could disrupt their ability to find food, hide from predators, and protect their young. This could lead to a decline in their population and threaten their survival in the Arctic environment.
How do humans survive in the Arctic?
they have tons of layres of clothing on and they also ice fish
