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.
