The actinoid contraction less imp than lanthanoid contraction because actinoid contraction is greater from element to element than lanthanoid.

Actinoid contraction is greater from element to element than lanthanoid contraction. ... These 5f orbitals have a poorer shielding effect than 4f orbitals (in lanthanoids). Thus, the effective nuclear charge experienced by electrons in valence shells in case of actinoidsis much more that that experienced by lanthanoids.
