For Epoch 2010, it is the parallel of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latitude" title="Latitude">latitude</a> that runs 66° 33′ 44″ (or 66.5622°) north of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equator" title="Equator">Equator</a>.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Circle#cite_note-0">[1]</a></sup><br />
The region north of this circle is known as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic" title="Arctic">Arctic</a>, and the zone just to the south is called the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperateness" title="Temperateness">Northern Temperate Zone</a>. The equivalent <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_circle" title="Polar circle">polar circle</a> in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Hemisphere" title="Southern Hemisphere">Southern Hemisphere</a> is called the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_Circle" title="Antarctic Circle">Antarctic Circle</a>.<br />
The Arctic Circle marks the southern extremity of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_sun" title="Midnight sun">polar day</a> (24-hour sunlit day, often referred to as the "midnight sun") and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_night" title="Polar night">polar night</a> (24-hour sunless night). North of the Arctic Circle, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun" title="Sun">sun</a> is above the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon" title="Horizon">horizon</a> for 24 continuous <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hour" title="Hour">hours</a> at least once per <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year" title="Year">year</a> and below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year. On the Arctic Circle those events occur, in principle, exactly once per year, at the June and December <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solstice" title="Solstice">solstices</a>, respectively.<br />
In fact, because of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_refraction" title="Atmospheric refraction">atmospheric refraction</a> and because the sun appears as a disk and not a point, part of the midnight sun may be seen on the night of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_solstice" title="Summer solstice">northern summer solstice</a> up to about 50<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minute" title="Minute">′</a> (90 km (56 mi)) south of the Arctic Circle; similarly, on the day of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_solstice" title="Winter solstice">northern winter solstice</a>, part of the sun may be seen up to about 50′ north of the Arctic Circle. That is true at sea level; those limits increase with elevation above sea level although in mountainous regions, there is often no direct view of the horizon.<br />
The position of the Arctic Circle is not fixed, but directly depends on the Earth's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_tilt" title="Axial tilt">axial tilt</a>, which fluctuates within a margin of 2° over a 40,000 year period,<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_Circle#cite_note-1">[2]</a></sup> notably due to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_force" title="Tidal force">tidal forces</a> resulting from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbit_of_the_Moon" title="Orbit of the Moon">orbit of the Moon</a>. The Arctic Circle is currently drifting northwards at a speed of about 15 m (49 ft) per year, see <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_latitude#Movement_of_the_Tropical_and_Polar_circles" title="Circle of latitude"><i>Circle of latitude</i></a> for more information.<br />
