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.
The earth's polar areas are at ARCTIC to the north and ANTARCTIC to the south of the equator.
It is the parallel of latitude that runs 66° 33' 44" (or 66.5622°) north of the Equator.
North of the arctic circle, or south of the antarctic circle, but only at certain times of the year.
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.

High latitudes
All north latitudes more than 66.5 degrees are inside the Arctic Circle, i.e. between the Circle and the North Pole.
"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".
Those are the "polar" regions.
