Both are theoretically the same. It depends on the accuracy of your measurements and the method of measurement. Are you measuring at exactly theoretical sea level or up and down mountains and valleys (along the sea floor?) etc. I do believer that the Earth is slightly larger south of the equator and so the Antarctic circle could be larger.

The difference is the location of each, one north of the equator and the other south of it.

∙ 8y agoThey're the same distance from the equator but in opposite directions. The Arctic Circle
is at North 66.4 degrees and the north pole is at its center. The Antarctic Circle is at
South 66.4 degrees and the south pole is at its center.
Both circles mark the farthest from one of Earth's poles you can get and still have
at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise and one 24-hour period of no sunset
during the year. The phenomenon occurs north of the Arctic Circle and south of
the Antarctic Circle.

Is it colder in the Antarctic Circle than in the Arctic Circle?
On average, yes.
Is it colder at the antarctic than the arctic?
The antarctic is colder than the arctic because of Antarctica, the continent, on which is stored 90% of the Earth's store of ice.
Is the arctic colder than the antarctic?
No, it's not.
Why Antarctic Circle is more ice than Arctic Circle?
There is a continent south of the Antarctic Circle, while the Arctic Circle surrounds sea ice.
Is it colder at the Antarctic than then arctic?
Yes, by about 30 degrees F. This is because there is a continent in the Antarctic and there is only sea ice in the Arctic.
Is Boston close the the Antarctic Circle?
No. Boston, Mass in the USA is closer to the Arctic Circle than to the Antarctic Circle. Boston and the Arctic are both in the Northern Hemisphere: Antarctica is in the Southern Hemisphere.
Why do polar bears only live in the Arctic region and not in the Antarctic region?
Because the antarctic region is colder than the arctic and the Polar bear won't get the warmth it needs.
Is the Arctic circle colder or warmer than Antarctica?
Warmer
Does the Arctic Circle pass though more land than the Antarctic Circle?
Yes.
Is polar climate colder than subarctic climate?
the subarctic is colder than the tundra
Is the UK closer to the Arctic Circle than New Zealand is to the Antarctic Circle?
The UK is the closer.
Why is the climate in the Antarctic is so much colder than in the Arctic?
The continent of Antarctica is in the Antarctic, storing 90% of the earth's store of ice. It is about 30 degrees F colder in Antarctica than in the open water of the Arctic ocean. Antarctica is a continent surrounded by the Southern Ocean. The Arctic is open water -- the Arctic ocean -- surrounded by land.
