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.

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
How far from the north pole in degrees is the arctic circle?

How many times a year does the sun rise and set in the arctic?
That depends on your latitude. The Arctic is all of the area north of the Arctic Circle, which is 66.56° north latitude. At the Arctic Circle, the sun sets every day, although on the June solstice it just barely sets then immediately rises again as soon as it sets. The farther north you go in the Arctic, the fewer the annual number of sunsets (and sunrises). At the northernmost point, the north pole, the sun rises once a year and sets once a year.
