No. The circles are circles. The poles are points. If the circles were points,
then they might be called the Arctic and Antarctic Poles, but they wouldn't
be called the Arctic and Antarctic Circles since they would be only points.

Where does the sun rise each day?
Everyplace on earth that is not within the arctic or antarctic circles.
What does Antarctic have and not the Arctic?
In this context, Antarctica is a continent; there is no continent in the Arctic, specifically at the poles: 90 degrees.
Where are the high latitude climate located?
Nearer to the poles above artic circles south of the Antarctic circle
Where are continental glaciers found today?
There are continental glaciers in and around the Arctic and Antarctic circles, and covering parts of Greenland and other polar region islands.
What zones are located in the area around Earth's poles?
These are obviously called the "polar zones," the Arctic and the Antarctic.
How many degrees is it from the North and South Poles to the Arctic and Antarctic Circles?
The Arctic and Antarctic Cirles are 66.5619° from the North and South Poles.
What is the distance to the poles from the Arctic and the Antarctic Circles?
roughly 1700 miles
What is the distance to both artit and Antarctic circles?
The question doesn't specify from which starting point. The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are roughly 23.5 degrees from the north and south poles respectively, which is roughly 1,620 miles (2,608 km).
What contains the Arctic and Antarctic circle?
Latitude maps include both the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
How are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles different?
The Arctic Circle is north of the Equator; the Antarctic Circle is south of the Equator.
What latitude are the Arctic and Antarctic circles on?
Arctic and Antarctic circles are 66.5 degrees latitude, north and south respectively. Those are the locations farthest from the north and south poles where it's possible for the sun to be up or down for more than 24 contiguous hours at least once per year.
What are the differences between the Arctic and the Antarctic Circles?
The Arctic Circle is north of the Equator: the Antarctic Circle is south of the Equator.
Is the Arctic Circle the same thing as the South Pole?
No. The North Pole is the center of the Arctic Circle and the South Pole is the center of the Antarctic Circle. The Polar Circles are about 20-odd degrees from the poles.
Is the Arctic Antarctic?
The Arctic and the Antarctic are two separate geographical designations, surrounding the North and South Poles respectively.
What are inside the Arctic and Antarctic Circles called?
Polar Zones
What special event happens above the Arctic Circle and below the Antarctic Circle?
Beyond both circles, the geography experiences periods of no daily sunrise/ sunset. Depending on where you are between the circles and the poles, the periods can be days, weeks or months. At the poles, the period is six months.
Which part of the earth is best reflected on a map?
The part of the Earth that is best reflected on a map is the surface. Maps reflect borders of countries or territories as well as physical features like mountains.
