AntarcticaThe climate is windy and precipitation is scarce.
The average annual temperature of the whole continent is -25, the average temperature of the inland plateau is about -50, the temperature in the cold season is rarely higher than -40, and the extreme minimum temperature has reached -892, the lowest temperature recorded in the world, was measured on July 21, 1983 at the Vostok station in the Soviet Union. Antarctica is the driest continent on Earth, and almost all of the precipitation is snow and hail.
ArcticIt is also very cold, with temperatures as low as -50 in winter and no more than 10 in summer.
Winter in the Arctic is long, cold and dark, starting on November 23 every year, and for nearly half a year there will be no sun at all. The temperature can drop as low as minus 50. By this time all the waves and tides were gone, because the shore was frozen and only the wind swept around with snow.
AntarcticathanArcticThe cold is because Antarctica is known as the "Ice and Snow Plateau", with an average altitude of about 2,350 meters, making it the highest average altitude continent in the world. The increase in altitude leads to a decrease in air temperatures, so the temperature in the Antarctic will be lower than in the North Pole.
Due to the difference in the distance between the sun and the earth, the polar night polar day phenomenon time of the north and south poles of the earth is different, in summer, the direct sun point is in the northern hemisphere, the earth is close to the aphelion, and the speed slows down, so the polar day phenomenon in the north pole is relatively long, and the direct sun point in winter is in the southern hemisphere, but the earth is close to the perihelion, and the revolution speed becomes faster, so the polar day phenomenon in the south pole is relatively short. This is also the reason why the Antarctic is colder than the Arctic.
