The Arctic is around the northern hemisphere
The Antarctic is around the Southern Hemisphere (Antarctica)
The Antarctic Circle is located at the bottom of the world (Southern Hemisphere) at 66 1/2 degrees south. The Arctic Circle is located at the top of the world (Northern Hemisphere) at 66 1/2 degrees north.
The Antarctic circle is an imaginary circle around the earth (running parallel to the equator) at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude.
roughly 66.56 degrees south latitude / every longitude.
Every point on the Antarctic Circle is about 1,620 miles from the south pole
and about 10,790 miles from the north pole.
Antarctic is a continent that is at the South Pole (the bottom of our world). The South Pole and the Antarctic Circle is as far south of the Equator as it is possible to get.
roughly 3,245 miles
66.5 degrees south latitude
None do.
Antarctica is 100% completely south of the north pole, the Arctic Circle, theTropic of Cancer, the equator, the Tropic of Capricorn, all of North America,South America, Asia, Africa, Australia, and Europe, and it's almost but not quitecompletely south of the Antarctic Circle.But it's 100% completely north of the south pole.
You are thinking of the Antarctic Circle.
The best places to see an aurora are near the poles of the earth: that would be way north near the arctic circle or way south near the antarctic circle.
Every degree of latitude -- circles -- on earth is north of the South Pole. Notably, these include the Antarctic Circle -- 66° 33′ 44″ South, the Equator -- 0° and the Arctic Circle -- 66° 33′ 44″ North.
No. The North Pole is within the Arctic Circle, in the north. Antarctica is in the Antarctic Circle, in the south.
North Pole.... Arctic. South Pole....Antarctic.
Reindeer are only found in the far north near the Arctic Circle.
The continent of Antarctica is encircled by the Antarctic Circle and is almost entirely inside it. The Antarctic Peninsula (near South America) extends the farthest out of the circle.Yes. The Antarctica Circle does cross parts of the continent of Antarctica.
Anything north is Arctic, anything south is Antarctic.
Your answer depends on where you are on the continent. On the Antarctic Peninsula -- near the Antarctic Circle, you only experience one day of no sunset. At the South Pole, the period is six months.
Arctic Circle
There is one of these 'rings' around the north pole ... called the Arctic Circle ... and another one around the south pole ... called the Antarctic Circle. These circles mark the farthest distance from each pole that can possibly have 24 hours without a sunrise, and 24 hours without a sunset. Each of them is located 23.5 degrees (of latitude) away from its pole. On June 21, the sun doesn't set on the Arctic Circle (the north one), and doesn't rise on the Antarctic Circle (the south one). On December 21, there's no sunrise on the Arctic Circle, and no sunset on the Antarctic Circle.
