Antarctica has virtually no precipitation of note. If we exclude it, Australia is the driest continent. While Northern Africa is very arid, the Congo River basin is one of the wettest large areas on Earth. Only the Amazon basin receives more rain.
Antarctica is the driest continent on Earth outside of Australia. It receives very little precipitation, with most of the continent being a cold desert.
Antarctica is the continent that only has one climate, which is a polar climate characterized by extreme cold temperatures and very little precipitation.
The driest country in the world is Egypt, while the driest continent is Antarctica. Egypt's desert regions receive very low precipitation, particularly the Sahara desert in the west. Antarctica is classified as the driest continent due to its extremely low annual precipitation levels.
Antarctica is considered the driest inhabited continent on Earth because of its extremely low precipitation levels. Most of the continent receives only minimal amounts of snowfall each year, making it the driest place on Earth.
Antarctica is considered the world's wettest continent due to its abundant snowfall and ice accumulation. Despite being a desert due to low precipitation, the amount of water stored in its ice sheet makes it the wettest continent overall.
No much. Average humidity on the continent is five percent. It is the driest continent on earth.
Antarctica is the continent that has the lowest amount of precipitation within a year. The second lowest amount of precipitation annually is recorded by South America who averages .03 of an inch of rain.

Generally, in Antarctica, it's too cold to rain. Precipitation in the Antarctic Peninsula may fall as rain, but the amounts are nominal. Other precipitation on the continent may fall as snow or ice crystals. Average humidity on the continent is about five percent.
Antarctica is the driest continent on Earth outside of Australia. It receives very little precipitation, with most of the continent being a cold desert.
Antarctica is a continent, and also the world's largest desert, due to the lack of precipitation. It is a cold desert, not a hot desert.
The continent that is considered to be an entire desert is Antarctica. It is called a desert because it only get an annual precipitation of 8 inches.
Yes.
Antarctica is considered the rainiest continent on Earth, but most of this precipitation falls as snow rather than rain. The coastal regions of Antarctica receive the most precipitation due to their proximity to the Southern Ocean.
Antarctica's average humidity is about five percent. For a continent which is the size of USA and Mexico combined, this makes Antarctica a desert. On the northern coasts, there may be as much as eight inches of precipitation per year, and elsewhere, precipitation is negligible.
There is little or no precipitation on the Antarctic continent: it is classified as a desert with about five percent humidity. However, it has been known to rain on the Antarctic Peninsula.
The entire continent of Antarctica is a desert with an annual precipitation of 8 inches.
