The Arctic Circle
What else can I help you with?
What causes the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle to have periods of 24 hours of light and 24 hours of darkness?
the tilt of the earth's axis
Where in the world is it continuously light in the summer and dark in the winter?
The earth Axis Tilt The end. The earth Axis Tilt The end.
Is the Arctic Circle in the northern or southern hemisphere?
Yes. & therefore the Antarctic Ocean is in the Southern Hemisphere.
How are the arctic and antarctic circle geographically alike?
Both imaginary lines are circles of constant latitude, 23.5 degrees from a pole of the earth's axis.
How many axis of symmetry have a circle?
there are 4 axis of symmetry in a circle
If a line isn't considered a triangle how can the range of secant and cosecant function includes 1 and -1?

Where would you be standing if you got 24 hours of daylight in per day in the summer?
If you experience 24 hours of daylight in the summer, you would be located in regions north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle. This phenomenon is known as the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible for the entire 24 hours due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Is a circle symmetric with respect to x-axis on a graph?
Any point on the graph can be the center of a circle. If the center is on the x-axis, then the circle is symmetric with respect to the x-axis.
What are the degrees of the artitic circle?
Not sure about the artitic (sic) circle but in 2012 the Arctic Circle was approx 66.56 degrees north of the equator. It is around 66.66 degrees north but the exact value depends on the tilt of the Earth's axis which changes slightly over time.
Does the sun rotate in a circle or in a oval?
The sun rotates in an approximately circular path at its equator due to its rotation on its axis. This path is not a perfect circle but closer to a slightly oval shape due to various factors influencing its rotation, such as its equatorial bulge and differential rotation.
Will the overhead sun strike at the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle at any time of the year?
No the Arctic and Antarctic circles are at about 66° 33′ 39″ North and South of the equator respectively. The Sun is directly overhead only latitudes between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° 26′ 22″ North and South respectively during the course of the year.The sun is theoretically visible the entire day and night at the arctic circle on midsummer (and at the antarctic circle at {northern hemisphere} mid winter).
When does mudnight sun occur?
The midnight sun occurs during the summer months in regions within the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle, when the sun remains visible at midnight, creating 24 hours of daylight. This phenomenon happens because of the tilt of Earth's axis towards the sun during these periods.
