The Arctic Ocean is smaller.
The Antarctic is a landmass: the Arctic is sea ice.
There is an Antarctic Desert but no Arctic Desert. The Arctic is mostly open sea, frozen sea ice and tundra.
The Arctic fox is found only in the Arctic. There are no foxes in Antarctica. Except for coastal areas where there are seals and sea lions, there are no mammals in the Antarctic.
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.
There is a continent south of the Antarctic Circle, while the Arctic Circle surrounds sea ice.
Penguins primarily live in the Antarctic region, although some species can also be found in parts of the Southern Hemisphere like New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. Penguins do not inhabit the Arctic region.
The Antarctic sea is not named after an explorer, but after the continent it is near to; also Antarctica was not named after anyone, but was named because of where it was. It is on the opposite side of the Arctic, so they combined anti- and Arctic( which means cold,that is how the Arctic got its name) and created Antarctic.
All continents exept the arctic/antarctic
Yes, it is colder, by about 30 degrees F. Why? Antarctica is a continent covered with ice. The Arctic ice simply freezes over sea water. The ice area in the Arctic is significantly smaller than the ice sheet that covers Antarctica.
sea otters live on all continents exept the arctic and antarctic
sea otters live on all continents exept the arctic and antarctic
The difference is that in the arctic there are Polar bears and in the antarctic there are penguins. You will never find a polar bear in the antarctic and you will never find a penguin in the arctic.
