What's the difference between the North Pole and the South Pole?

The South Pole and the North Pole, two poles, are also at both ends of the earth's rotation axis, but the South Pole is a well-deserved extremely cold place. Do you know why Antarctica is the coldest place on earth? Why is the lowest temperature difference between the two poles close to 30℃? The first reason is topography: Antarctica is land, while the Arctic is a Wang Yang sea (Arctic Ocean). Because the land heats up and cools down faster than the ocean, the Antarctic in winter is colder than the Arctic in winter. This is the most important reason for the temperature difference between the two poles. The second reason is that the latitude of solar radiation in Antarctica is high, and the path of solar radiation through the atmosphere is long, which is weakened by the atmosphere and rarely reaches the ground, so the average temperature is low. In addition, there are polar nights on the Antarctic map every year, and the polar night cycle in Antarctica lasts for half a year. During this period, no solar radiation came in, only heat was lost. The third reason is that Antarctica is a plateau continent, with an average elevation of 2,350 meters, making it the highest continent in the world. However, nearly two-thirds of the Arctic is ocean, and the average elevation is only equivalent to sea level, so the temperature in Antarctica is relatively low.
