the biggest sand desert in the earth is the Sahara desert. the biggest arctic desert is Antarctica
Antarctica is the biggest polar desert in the world.

The Sahara Desert in Northern Africa spans an area measured roughly at probably 3-3.5 million square miles. Which is probably one of the biggest non polar desert.
The Sahara Desert Sahara is the largest desert in the world, encompassing almost all of northern Africa. Covering an area of about 3.3 million sq mi (8.6 million sq km), it is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the Atlas Mountains, the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and the Sahel region. It includes portions of several countries, including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Chad, and The Sudan.
Sahara desert. Area = 9.65 million sq km.

IN ADDITION:By receiving less than 2 inches of rainfall per year, Antarctica is considered a desert. At 14.4 million square kilometers (5.4 million square miles), It is the largest desert on the planet Earth.
The largest desert in the world is named the Antarctic Desert. It is a huge polar desert covering much of Antarctica.
A desert is a region of land that receives less than 250 mm of rain per year. Thus, the largest desert is the Antarctic with an area of 18 million km2 in winter. This is followed by the Arctic (which is also an ocean) with an area of 15 million km2 in winter and the Sahara with an area of roughly 8.6 million km2.

Answer 2

If an area is a desert or not is basically determined by how much rainfall it gets. And while most deserts are hot, it's not the heat that make them deserts - it's the tiny amount of precipitation AKA rain or snow.

And the biggest desert overall is Antarctica.

Antarctica is uninhabited apart from research stations, and is internationally agreed not to belong to any one country.

The biggest hot desert is the Sahara desert, in which you can find the nations Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Sudan, Tunisia

Answer 3

The Sahara desert is the largest traditional or common type of desert - hot, dry, and sandy. It is the world's largest sub-tropical desert. In geography, however, a desert could also be a barren, dry, cold place like Antarctica.

Antarctica is twice as large as the Sahara. To give you an idea of the size: The Antarctic desert is almost twice the size of the Sahara, which takes up a good chunk of northern Africa. Antarctica is the size of USA and Mexico, combined.

Answer 4

The world's largest desert is Antarctica since a desert is defined as an area receiving less than 10 inches of precipitation per year. It covers 5.5 million square miles. The Sahara is the largest hot desert covering 3.5 million square miles.
The world's largest desert is the Antarctic Desert. It is 5,339,573 square miles in size.
