The Arctic Circle is a region on Earth that is marked as one of the five major circles of latitude on maps of our planet.It is located between the Arctic to its north and the Northern Temperate Zone to its south. Its counterpart in the Southern Hemisphere is known as the Antarctic Circle.In addition to the Antarctic Circle, the other three major latitude lines are the Tropic of Cancer, the Tropic of Capricorn, and the Equator.The Arctic Circle is the farthest southern region that experiences polar day and polar night.ts counterpart in the Southern Hemisphere is known as the Antarctic Circle.

Lines of latitude. On a globe of the Earth, lines of latitude are circles of different size. The longest is the equator, whose latitude is zero, while at the poles--at latitudes 90Â° north and 90Â° south (or -90Â°) the circles shrink to a point.Longitude On the globe, lines of constant longitude (meridians) extend from pole to pole, like the segment boundaries on a peeled orange.he longest is the equator, whose latitude is zero, while at the poles--at latitudes 90Â° north and 90Â° south (or -90Â°) the circles shrink to a point.
