What else can I help you with?
What contains the Arctic and Antarctic circle?
Latitude maps include both the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
How are the Arctic and the Antarctic circles alike in measurement?
Both these lines of latitude are about 66 degrees.
What changes when you cross the Arctic and Antarctic circles?
Beyond both circles, there is at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise, sunset annually.
At what latitude and longitude do the Arctic and Antarctic circles lie?
The Arctic circle is 66 33′ 39″ north and the Antarctic is the same south of the equator.Every longitude crosses both circles.
What degrees are the Arctic and the Antarctic circles?
They are both at 66 degrees 32 minutes, either South Latitude or North Latitude.
How are the arctic and antarctic circle geographically alike?
Both imaginary lines are circles of constant latitude, 23.5 degrees from a pole of the earth's axis.
How are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles different?
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.
How are the Arctic and Antarctic circles alike in relationship to the Equator and the poles?
The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are each the same distance from their respective poles. Depending on the nearness of the poles, periods of continuous day or night vary from one day to six months at locations inside the circles. The circles are imaginary parallels of latitude on the surface of the earth at 66°30' south and north of their respective poles. They mark the southern and northern limits of the areas in which the sun does or does not rise and set on the winter and summer solstices.
What special event happens above the Arctic Circle and below the Antarctic Circle?
Beyond both circles, the geography experiences periods of no daily sunrise/ sunset. Depending on where you are between the circles and the poles, the periods can be days, weeks or months. At the poles, the period is six months.
How can you compare the arctic and antarctic circles?
Both mark latitudes, north -- Arctic, and south -- Antarctica, of the Equator beyond which there is at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise/ sunset per year.
What is parallel to the Arctic Circle?
The Antarctic Circle is parallel to the Arctic Circle, as they both mark the latitudes at approximately 66.5 degrees north and south, respectively. These circles denote the points where the sun does not set on the summer solstice and does not rise on the winter solstice.
Are ovals and circles similar?
Yes. Both circles and ovals have no sides.
