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.
Where are the earth's polar areas?
The earth's polar areas are at ARCTIC to the north and ANTARCTIC to the south of the equator.
What are the degrees of the Arctic Circle?
It is the parallel of latitude that runs 66° 33' 44" (or 66.5622°) north of the Equator.
What parts of earth receive up to 24 hours of sunlight a day?
North of the arctic circle, or south of the antarctic circle, but only at certain times of the year.
What is the probability that it will go dark tonight?
It depends on where you are. During the summer in the Northern hemisphere, if you are North of the Arctic circle, the answer is 0.

What are the latitudes between the North Pole and the Arctic Circle?
All north latitudes more than 66.5 degrees are inside the Arctic Circle, i.e. between the Circle and the North Pole.
Are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called high middle or low latitude regions?
"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".
What are the latitudes of the taiga?
The latitudes of the Taiga are between 50 degrees north and the Arctic Circle.
What are the latitudes north of the arctic circle and south of the antarctic circle called?
Those are the "polar" regions.
What is the location in North America?

What are the areas north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called?
