How do you draw the Arctic Circle?
The Arctic Circle is an imaginary line on globes and charts at about 66.5°N latitude. Locations north of the Arctic Circle can experience at least one 24-hour period of "night" during the winter. At the North Pole, this becomes 6 months of daylight and 6 months of night. To "draw" the Arctic Circle, make a circle centered on the North Pole, about 2600 kilometers (1616 miles) in radius.

Does it stay light longer the farther north you go?
Yes, in the summer time if you cross over the Arctic Circle it doesn't get dark with a sunset for one night and at the north pole it is light for 6 months (summer) then dark for 6 months (winter).The same thing happens when you head to the south pole in the southern hemisphere.That is true only from the March equinox until the September equinox. The opposite is true during the other half of the year.
Is there a country that is dark for six months and light for the other 6?

Does latitude affect how dark it gets?
No, but latitude affects how long it stays dark. For example: At 90 degrees latitude, either north or south, the sun will set and stay down for 6 months, then will rise and stay up for the next 6 months. Yes, latitude indeed affects how dark it gets. For example north of the Arctic Circle there is no night or even twilight and latitudes slightly below the Arctic Circle experience a night-long twilight.
Why isn't the Arctic Circle the northernmost point of Earth - since it divides the light and dark half of the planet?
The Arctic Circle does not divide the light and dark half of the planet. It's just the southernmost latitude where it's possible for the sun to remain above the horizon or below the horizon for more than 24 hours straight ... which the sun does every year. There is no light or dark half of the planet. In the course of a year, every spot on Earth has the sun above the horizon for 50% of the time, and below the horizon for the other 50% of the time. Different points on the planet simply have their 50% distributed in different-size chunks during the year. (At both poles, the sun is 6 months up, 6 months down. On the equator, it's close to 50-50 every day.)

In actuality, no. But it seems like it, the sun comes up at 11:00 am and sets at 2:30 pm, you think it is dark for 6 months. Starting the last part of September it starts getting dark earlier until about mid May. Then it stays light 23 hours.
