They are both imaginary lines of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. Their degree measurements are roughly complementary (add to 90°)

What is significant about the Tropic of Cancer? (23.4378° N)

It sees 90-degree sun rays (directly overhead at noon on the equinoxes), including the northernmost points where this is possible.

What is significant about the Arctic Circle? (66.5622° N)

It includes the southernmost polar locations that can have one day of 24 hour sunlight, and one day of 24 hour night. Points closer to the North Pole will receive more days of all sun or all night, becoming six months of day and night at the Pole.
