NO.
The Tropic of Cancer (or the Northern Tropic) and the Tropic of Capricorn (or the Souther Tropic), are the most northerly and southerly latitudes at which the Sun can appear directly overhead at noon. This event occurs at the June solstice in the northern hemisphere and the December solstice in the souther hemisphere.
Tropic of Cancer lies 23° 26′ 22″ north of the equator
Tropic of Capricorn lies 23° 26′ 22″ south of the equator
The Arctic Circle is the parallel of latitude that runs 66° 33′ 39″ north of the Equator. The region north of this circle is known as the Arctic. The equivalent latitude in the Southern Hemisphere is called the Antarctic Circle.
The Arctic Circle marks the southern extremity of the polar day (24 hour sunlit day, often referred to as the "midnight sun") and polar night (24 hour sunless night). North of the Arctic Circle, the sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year, and below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year. On the Arctic Circle these events occur, in principle, exactly once per year, at the June and December solstices respectively. The converse is true for the Antarctic Circle
