No the Arctic and Antarctic circles are at about 66° 33′ 39″ North and South of the equator respectively. The Sun is directly overhead only latitudes between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° 26′ 22″ North and South respectively during the course of the year.

The sun is theoretically visible the entire day and night at the arctic circle on midsummer (and at the antarctic circle at {northern hemisphere} mid winter).

Why do the suns rays strike latitude 23.5S?

The sun's rays strike latitude 23.5°S, known as the Tropic of Capricorn, during the December solstice when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. This tilt causes the sun to be directly overhead at this latitude at noon, resulting in the longest day and the height of summer for regions south of the Equator. Conversely, during the June solstice, the sun is directly overhead at 23.5°N (the Tropic of Cancer), marking the summer for the Northern Hemisphere.

How do you avoid a thunderstorm?

An impact crater left by an asteroid strike has a radius of 85 km What is the area of the crater?

The area of the crater can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2, where r is the radius. Given a radius of 85 km, the area of the crater would be approximately 22,665 square kilometers.
