Characteristics and the emergence pattern of bipolar active regions are investigated using NSO/KP full disk magnetograms. Discussed in this paper are two samples of newly emerged bipolar regions: 9492 ephemeral regions and 978 active regions. Their distributions in size, latitude, and orientation are compared. It is concluded that ephemeral regions are the small scale end of a wide spectrum of active regions.
