They both have rotating winds. Other than that they are completely different. Anticyclones are large-scale high-pressure systems that bring calm, clear weather. Tornadoes are small centers of low pressure with extremely violent winds.

Are tornadoes cyclones or anticyclones?
The answer is simple. No. Tornados are on land, while cyclones are in water.
How do cyclones and anticyclones form?
Cyclones produce thunderstorms that can potentially produce tornadoes. Mid latitude cyclones often produce fronts from their rotation by forcing contrasting air masses together. Thunderstorms often form along these fronts. This is how most tornadoes form. Anticyclones generally tend to suppress thunderstorms ans thus tornadoes rather than produce them.
Are tornadoes associated with anti cyclones?
No, anticyclones are high-pressure systems and are generally associate with fair weather. Tornadoes are more often associated with fronts and low pressure systems or cyclones.
Which characteristic do cyclones and anticyclones have in common?
Isobars form a concentric pattern around the center
Tornadoes are most common during what season?
Tornadoes are generally most common in spring.
Are there any hurricanes tornadoes whirlpools or any kind of storms like that on Jupiter?
There are rotating cyclones and anticyclones on Jupiter, but they are a bit different from any storm found on Earth.
Where were the most common tornadoes in the US?
Tornadoes are most common in Texas
Is an anticyclone the same as a tornado?
No. An anticyclone is a large scale high pressure system that generally brings calm, sunny weather. Anticyclones rotate clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern. Tornadoes have more in common with cyclones than they do with anticyclones. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. In weather terms it is a small scale vortex. Tornadoes generate intense low pressure and, about 99% of the time the rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern. In this sense they are similar to cyclones, though on a much smaller scale.
What air pressure do anticyclones have?
Anticyclones produce high barometric pressure.
Tornadoes are most common in what seasons?
Tornadoes are most common in a spring and summer.
In the United states tornadoes are most common in the?
Tornadoes are most common on the Great Plains.
What are anticyclones and depressions?
Anticyclones are high pressure arear and depressions are low pressure areas.
