CTET Paper II (Social Science) 18 Jan 2023 Solved Paper

Concept:Latitude lines measure distance north or south of the equator. The Arctic Circle is the line at $66\frac{1}{2}^\circ$ north latitude. Explanation:The equator is at $0^\circ$. North of the equator, the Tropic of Cancer lies at $23\frac{1}{2}^\circ$ N, not at $66\frac{1}{2}^\circ$ N. The Arctic Circle is exactly at $66\frac{1}{2}^\circ$ N. The Tropic of Capricorn ($23\frac{1}{2}^\circ$ S) and the Antarctic Circle ($66\frac{1}{2}^\circ$ S) are in the southern hemisphere. Therefore, the line at $66\frac{1}{2}^\circ$ north of the equator is the Arctic Circle. Answer:C. Arctic Circle
