The Arctic Circle is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours (at the June solstice and December solsticerespectively).
The Antarctic Circle is the northernmost latitude in the Southern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours (at the December solstice and June solstice respectively).
No. The circles are circles. The poles are points. If the circles were points, then they might be called the Arctic and Antarctic Poles, but they wouldn't be called the Arctic and Antarctic Circles since they would be only points.
Latitude maps include both the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
The Arctic Circle is north of the Equator; the Antarctic Circle is south of the Equator.
The Arctic Circle is north of the Equator: the Antarctic Circle is south of the Equator.
