The head of a spider is called the cephalothorax ('head-chest'), as it also contains the chest structures such as the legs. Though, spider fangs are also unique among arthropods, these are also called chelicerae; and the pedipalps next to them don't have a counterpart in other groups either. In scorpions, the pedipalps are modified into pincers, but in Spiders they look like little legs and are used to manipulate food etc.

How are in six different from other arthropods?
Assuming this question is how are insects different from other arthropods, insects fall into hexapods which includes insects, springtails and a few other groups of arthropods with six legs.

What arthropod lives in high altitude?
The highest living arthropod is Euophrys omnisuperstes, literally 'living above everything else', a fluffy white jumping spider.
