What other circle is there beside the arctic?
You may be looking for the Antarctic Circle, but all of the demarcations of latitude and longitude are circles.
What contains the Arctic and Antarctic circle?
Latitude maps include both the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
How are the Arctic and the Antarctic circles alike in measurement?
Both these lines of latitude are about 66 degrees.
Where do the arctic and antarctic circles lie?
The latitude is 66 degrees 33 minutes north.
Does the Prime Meridian pass through Antarctica or the Arctic Circle?
Both. It runs from Pole to Pole. Every meridian of longitude on Earth crosses the Antarctic Circle,the Arctic Circle, and every other parallel of latitude on Earth.Yes to both.The prime meridian is a line of longitude and therefore passes through both the Arctic and Antarctic circles, which are lines of lattitude.
What degrees are the Arctic and the Antarctic circles?
They are both at 66 degrees 32 minutes, either South Latitude or North Latitude.
At what latitude do the Arctic and Antarctic circles meet?
They don't. The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are parallel. Each circle has only a single latitude. The first is at 66.5° north latitude, 23.5° from the north pole. The second is at 66.5° south latitude, 23.5° from the south pole. They're 133° apart everywhere, and never meet.
At what latitude do the arctic and the Atlantic circles lie?
The Arctic Circle is 66.5 degrees north. The Antarctic Circle is 66.5 degrees south.
Why are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles taken as standard?
All lines of latitude are taken as standard. These lines of latitude, however, do wobble with the Earth's wobble.
What polar region is larger?
The north and south polar regions are the same size. They are defined by the Arctic and Antarctic Circles respectively. The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude. The Arctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes N latitude. The Antarctic and Arctic Circles are the points at sea level at which the sun does not appear over the horizon at the respective Winter Solstices.
What is Polar regions?

The Antarctic and Arctic Circles are the points at sea level at which the sun does not appear over the horizon at the respective Winter Solstices.
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.
