The Arctic Circle marks an area north of the Equator, and the Antarctic Circle marks an area south of the Equator, where there is at least one 24-hour period annually of no sunrise or sunset.
The Arctic Circle is located in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere. The Arctic Circle surrounds the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle has Arctic tundra vegetation, while the Antarctic Circle is largely covered in ice.
The Arctic Circle is in the Northern Hemisphere and encompasses the area around the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere and surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle is predominantly ocean surrounded by land, while the Antarctic Circle is mostly landmass surrounded by ocean. Both circles mark the latitudes where 24 hours of continuous daylight or darkness can occur, depending on the time of year.
Arctic comes from the Greek word arktos, meaning bear, Ursa Major, North Star. Antarctic just tacked on a prefix meaning "opposite." Arctic comes from the Greek word arktos, meaning bear, Ursa Major, North Star. Antarctic just tacked on a prefix meaning "opposite."
If you experience 24 hours of daylight in the summer, you would be located in regions north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle. This phenomenon is known as the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible for the entire 24 hours due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
The midnight sun occurs during the summer months in regions within the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle, when the sun remains visible at midnight, creating 24 hours of daylight. This phenomenon happens because of the tilt of Earth's axis towards the sun during these periods.
Opposite hemispheres.
The Arctic Circle is located in the Northern Hemisphere, while the Antarctic Circle is in the Southern Hemisphere. The Arctic Circle surrounds the North Pole, while the Antarctic Circle surrounds the South Pole. The Arctic Circle has Arctic tundra vegetation, while the Antarctic Circle is largely covered in ice.
The region between the Arctic Circle and the North Pole is called the Arctic region. The region between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole is called the Antarctic region.

The Antarctic Circle
The Antarctic Circle only passes through Antarctica. The Arctic Circle passes through Asia, Europe and North America. The Arctic passes through 3 continents and the Antarctic only passes through Antarctica The Arctic Circle
They are called the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle.
There is a continent south of the Antarctic Circle, while the Arctic Circle surrounds sea ice.
