Is it colder in the Antarctic Circle than in the Arctic Circle?
On average, yes.
Is the Arctic circle colder or warmer than Antarctica?
Warmer
Is it colder at the Arctic Circle than the Antarctic Circle?
Both are theoretically the same. It depends on the accuracy of your measurements and the method of measurement. Are you measuring at exactly theoretical sea level or up and down mountains and valleys (along the sea floor?) etc. I do believer that the Earth is slightly larger south of the equator and so the Antarctic circle could be larger.
If the arctic is under the equator like Australia how is it so cold?
The arctic is NOT "under the equator." It is at the north polar region. The Antarctic is at the south polar region; the average temp in the polar regions are much colder than at the equator.
Is the temperature contrast between the equator and the Arctic region greatest in the winter or in the summer?
The difference would be greatest in the winter, because the temperature near the equator is relatively constant, but the Arctic is considerably colder in the winter.
Why is the arctic getting hotter while England is getting colder?
because they are mirroring eachother (they are on different parts of the equator)
Why is it colder in England than hot countries?
It's because we are near to the Arctic circle and in the winter we get the left overs from the country in the Arctic circle but the summer the temperature can reach 30 not bad but it very sticky
Is the Arctic Circle generally warmer or colder than Antarctica?
It depends on the time of the year, they normally have the same range of temperatures but winter (the time it is really cold not necessarily a season) is normally longer in Antarctica.The Arctic Circle on average has a temperature of -2 degrees Fahrenheit and Antarctica has an average of -6 FahrenheitAnother AnswerUSA Today prints: "The average high temperature for the year in Antarctica is about -49 degrees F, while the average low temperature for the continent is about -56 degrees F."Antarctica is a continent and is about 30 degrees F colder than its polar counterpart in the Arctic north, which is sea water and sea ice. This is one of the reasons why humans have lived for tens of thousands of years in the Arctic, but Antarctica is uninhabitable for any native peoples or animals: it's too cold.
Are temperatures further from the equator hotter or colder?
The temperatures are warmer closer to the equator.
is the artic icrcle warm?
No, because the further you get from the equator, the colder it gets the temperature, and the Artic circle is far from the equator.
Why continents far from equator colder than countries near the equator?
s far at the equator colder than contries near the equator
Which is colder the antarctic or the arctic?
The Antarctic is colder.
