Ways to tell them apart:
- Remember that arctic has an extra c after the r, just like the c in cold, which matches its icy meaning.
- Think of artic as missing the c for cold, which reminds you it is incorrect for the cold region.
- The region Arctic is related to polar bears, severe cold, and ice caps, so it has more letters, just like adding layers before going outside in chilly weather.
