How are the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle alike?
They both have polar weather conditions and climate, are near the northernmost or southernmost points of the earth. Both circle a pole (North or South pole), and are the same approximate distance from the equator. They're both located at approximately 66° 33' 44" latitude (North and South, respectively -- and they wobble with the Earth's wobble). Also, they both mark the extremities of Polar Day where there is a 24 hour period of sunlight and a 24 hour period of darkness at least once a year.
They both support sea life, but each also has unique lifeforms adapted to the climate. Humpback whales, and krill swim in both the Arctic and the Southern Oceans.
Arctic is North on the globe/earth.
Antarctic is in the south.
They both enclose lots of ice. They both have names starting with the letter 'A': they are both cold and icy.
The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are alike because of their polar climates, magnetism, wildlife, and locations. They both have freezing climates and wildlife, especially with sperm whales traveling back and forth between them. They are also both located at 66.5 degrees latitude on maps. Both also contain magnetic poles that are part of the magnetic field on the planet.
What is advantages and disadvantages of weighted average?
The advantages of using weighted averages are that it smooths out fluctuations due to statistical outliers. The disadvantage is that this gives a uniformity in the statistics and can make it difficult to project trends.

They're not invisible on maps, but the don't exist on the earth's surface.
Lionel Greenstreet was the 1st officer aboard the Endurance, which was Ernest Shackletons boat during the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-17), also known as the Endurance Expedition.
Since the earth is titled 23.5 degres from 90 This gives us the article circles and the tropics where they are today if you increase the tild by ten degrees you wil increas those by ten degrees as well.
Area south of Antarctic circle experiences 24 hours of darkness on?
The Antarctic Circle -- about 66 degrees S -- marks the latitude beyond which the geography experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise or sunset annually.
At the South Pole -- 90 degrees S, this period is six months of no sunrises or sunsets.
What continents does the Antarctic Circle pass through?
Antarctica is the only continent that the Antarctic Circle passes through.
At what latitude do the arctic and the Atlantic circles lie?
The Arctic Circle is 66.5 degrees north.
The Antarctic Circle is 66.5 degrees south.
