In the Arctic Circle during winter, there are periods of continuous darkness called polar night, when the sun does not rise above the horizon. This darkness can last for several weeks or even months depending on the location within the Arctic Circle.
No. Any great circle on the earth has a circumference of about 24,000 miles. The circumference of the Arctic Circle (and the Antarctic circle too) is about 9,945 miles. Imagine circles around the North Pole. The closer to the pole the circle is, the smaller it is. If you were right there at the North Pole, you could walk a 10-foot circle around it. The Arctic Circle is a circle around the pole, but about 1,570 miles south of it. The only circle around the pole that's a great circle is the Equator.
The pole star or north star known as "polaris" can for the puposes of practical navigation be taken as 0.5 degrees. For sciences requiring greater precision eg Astronomy, consult websites of authorative bodies such as the National observatories of various countries such as the USNO. That is the United States Naval Observatory.
The Arctic Circle is slightly less than 3/4 of the way from the equator to the North Pole at a latitude of 66 degrees, 33 minutes, 36 seconds. The Antarctic Circle is the same distance from the equator to the South Pole.

The question is kind of backward.
The reason it's a desert is because it doesn't rain much there.
The reason it doesn't rain much in some places (which we call deserts) has to do with wind patterns and geographical features and is fairly complicated.
The similar circle in the southern hemisphere is known as the Antarctic Circle.
The distance from the Arctic Circle to the North Pole is 2,604 km.
Very roughly 1,600 miles
The Arctic Circle passes through the Arctic Ocean, the Scandinavian Peninsula, North Asia, Northern America and Greenland.
The "midnight sun" is seen during the summer months anywhere north of the Arctic Circle in the Northern Hemisphere, or south of the Antarctic Circle in the Southern Hemisphere. For Canada, the appellation Land of the Midnight Sun may refer to those northern regions above the Arctic Circle, including Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. For the United States, it is also applied to Alaska, the 49th state.
Trondheim, Norway, is 348 km from the Arctic Circle, or about 216 statute miles (ordinary miles) or 188 nautical miles.
200 miles
The Arctic Circle does not move - it's always at N 66.5 degrees.
The center of Kotzebue is about 24 miles north of the Arctic Circle.
The Arctic Circle passes through parts of Europe, Asia and North America. The position of the Arctic Circle may fluctuate by up to 2 degrees depending on the axial tilt of the earth.
