Does the meidian pass through the arctic circle or antarctic circle?
Every meridian of longitude on Earth crosses the Antarctic Circle, the Arctic Circle, and every other parallel of latitude on Earth.
Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle?
i think the lines closest to the outside of the earth
Where are the earth's polar areas?
The earth's polar areas are at ARCTIC to the north and ANTARCTIC to the south of the equator.
How much of earth do Arctic and Antarctic occupy?
Technically, both polar regions -- above the Arctic Circle and below the Antarctic Circle -- are equal. However, Antarctica occupies the larger landmass, of the two, covering about 10% of the earth's surface.
What causes the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle to have periods of 24 hours of light and 24 hours of darkness?
the tilt of the earth's axis
Is the Arctic Circle in the northern or southern hemisphere?
Yes. & therefore the Antarctic Ocean is in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is the opposite of the Arctic Circle?
The Antarctic is the opposite to the Arctic. The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun does not appear above the horizon at the southern Winter Solstice. It also marks the northernmost point of the Antarctic Frigid Zone. The Arctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes N latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun does not appear above the horizon at the northern Winter Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Arctic Frigid Zone.antarctic circleThe opposite to the artic circle is the antarctic circlethe Antarctic (Antarctica) - south pole
What zones are located in the areas around earth's pole?
These are obviously called the "polar zones," the Arctic and the Antarctic.
Can you keep going north from the Arctic Circle to reach Antarctica Shouldn't they be fairly close to 1 another?
The Arctic Circle and Antarctica are on opposite ends of the earth. Traveling north from the Arctic Circle would take you to the North Pole in the Arctic sea ice, then you'd have to travel south, where you'd cross the Arctic Circle once again. Continuing your southern journey, you'd cross the Antarctic Circle before reaching Antarctica the continent, where you'd pass over the South Pole. Then you'd have to travel north again. You'd cross the Antarctic Circle before making a full circle of the earth, again reaching the Arctic Circle.
How many degrees is it from the Antarctic Circle to the Arctic Circle?
Whatever the exact north latitude of the Arctic Circle is, the south latitude ofthe Antarctic Circle is exactly the same number, on account of their respectivedefinitions.
Where are the areas on earth called the Arctic and Antarctic?
Both of these areas are beyond 66 degrees of latitude in their respective hemispheres, and are called polar regions.
When the Arctic Circle experiences 24 hours of daylight what is happening in the Antarctic Circle?
Never.The Antarctic Circle marks the latitude on planet earth south of which at least one 24-hour period has no sunrise or no sunset.All latitudes north of the Antarctic Circle experience one sunrise and one sunset each day...until the latitude of the Arctic Circle, where the reverse occurs.
