Does the meidian pass through the arctic circle or antarctic circle?
Every meridian of longitude on Earth crosses the Antarctic Circle, the Arctic Circle, and every other parallel of latitude on Earth.
What is the range of latitudes of the Arctic Circle?
Every point on the Arctic Circle is at the same exact latitude ... roughly 66.5 degrees North. There is a point on the Arctic Circle at every possible longitude. The position of the Arctic Circle is not fixed. It directly depends on the Earth's axial tilt, which fluctuates within a margin of 2° over a 40,000-year period,notably due to tidal forces resulting from the orbit of the Moon
Which lines of latitude form the border for the antarctic circle?
Roughly 66.5° is the latitude of every point on the Arctic Circle.

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.
How far from the north pole in degrees is the arctic circle?
The Arctic Circle is the circle formed by all points on Earth whose latitude is roughly66.5° North. It goes all the way around the Earth at this latitude, and there is apoint on it at every longitude.The Arctic Circle itself is a parallel of latitude, at about 66.5° North.There is a point on it at every longitude.
