Depends on how far north or south you are from the equator.
The sun's path is highest in the sky at noon on June 21 at this location, indicating the summer solstice when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky.
June 20-21 is a very important day for our planet and its relationship with the sun. June 20-21 is one of two solstices, days when the rays of the sun directly strike one of the two tropical latitude lines. June 21 marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere and simultaneously heralds the beginning of winter in the southern hemisphere. In 2012, the summer solstice occurs and summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere on June 20, at 7:09 p.m
At noon on June 21st at 41 degrees north latitude, the sun's altitude would be at its highest point of the day, which would be approximately 68.5 degrees above the horizon. This is the highest altitude the sun will reach in the sky during the summer solstice at this latitude.
The declination of the sun changes most slowly near the times of the summer and winter solstices. At these points, the sun reaches its highest and lowest points in the sky, causing its declination to change gradually as it approaches these extreme positions.
The time period that you are referring to is called the summer solstice. It begins around June 21-22 and ends around September 22. This is the time when the earth's path around the sun has forced the Northern Hemisphere to start pointing directly at the sun. At that point, every part of the Northern Hemisphere sees the sun for more than 12 hours and every part of the Southern Hemisphere sees the sun for less than 12 hours. The autumnal equinox occurs about halfway through this event.Hope this helps ~ CB
You are misinformed, the Sun DOES set in the Arctic Circle.

"Solstices" ... June 21 and December 21.
On June 21 at the Equator, the sun would rise directly east. Regardless of where you are on the Equator, the sun would rise due east and set due west.
The South Pole begins its rotation away from the sun on March 21, and on June 21, it changes course and begins its rotation toward the sun.
If you are born in June, your sun sign is either Gemini (May 21 - June 21) or Cancer (June 21 - July 22). If your sun sign is Gemini, your planet will be Mercury. If your sun sign is Cancer, your planet will be the Moon.
June 21-22 is the summer solstice in the Arctic Circle. During this time, the sun does not set, leading to a phenomenon known as the midnight sun where there is continuous daylight for 24 hours. This is a unique experience for visitors to the Arctic Circle.

During the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st each year, the sun does not set on the Arctic Circle. This phenomenon is known as the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible for 24 hours.
Where it was on the other 364 days of the year. The North Pole does not move, you are thinking of the Magnetic North Pole.
