They're not. A "great circle" is a circle drawn on a sphere that has its center at the center of the sphere. -- The only line of latitude that's a great circle is the equator. None of the others are. -- Each meridian of longitude is 1/2 of a great circle. In order to form a complete great circle, you have to glue it together with the other meridian of longitude that's directly opposite it on the other side of the globe. Like the Prime Meridian and 180° longitude, or 34° east longitude and 146° west longitude.
The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
Nothing (on Earth) is east of the equator. It's east of the prime meridian ... and it's called 66.5 degrees east longitude.
YES!The way you remember which is which ... Longitude has 'Long' in it. Lines of longitude are always the same length because they circle the Earth from Pole to Pole, the LONG way around.Lines of Latitude on the other hand, circle the Earth getting progressively shorter the further North or South of the Equator they are.
First of all, the Arctic Circle is the one at roughly 23.5 degrees North.It ... along with the equator, the Antarctic Circle, and the Tropics of Cancerand Capricorn ... are all parallels of constant latitude.
it is a latitude
The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude. As of 2012, it is approximately 66° 33' 44" N latitude.
latitude
The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.
The Antarctic Circle is the collection of all the points on earth that are 23.5 degreessouth of the equator ... 23.5 degrees south latitude.
They are both imaginary lines which circle the earth!
The Antarctic Circle is a line of latitude -- which moves, according to the Earth's wobble. As of 10 March 2016, it runs 66°33′46.1″ as a line of latitude and crosses all degrees of E and W longitude on Earth.
You may be looking for the Antarctic Circle, but all of the demarcations of latitude and longitude are circles.

The Arctic Circle is a parallel of constant latitude. As of 2012, it is approximately 66.5622° north latitude. Surely that's close enough for your requirement.
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. The Antarctic Circle is at 66 degrees 32 minutes S latitude. Most of the land mass of Antarctica is within the Antarctic Circle.
