The summer solstice happens. The summer solstice is also the winter solstice in the opposite hemisphere. On the summer solstice (on the northern hemisphere), the northern hemisphere is tilted most to the sun, giving 24 hours of light to the Arctic Circle and 24 hours of darkness to Antarctica on the day of it.
During the northern hemisphere's summer solstice, the region that will have light 24 hours a day is the Arctic Circle. This phenomenon is known as the midnight sun, occurring because of the tilt of the Earth's axis, which causes the sun to never fully set in areas above the Arctic Circle during this time of the year.
Just as it is - the first word and proper nouns are capitalized. "Would you rather live nearer the Tropic of Capricorn or the Arctic Circle?"
First of all, the Arctic Circle is the one at roughly 23.5 degrees North.It ... along with the equator, the Antarctic Circle, and the Tropics of Cancerand Capricorn ... are all parallels of constant latitude.
24 Hours of straight sunlight
That completely depends on where you're located. If you're anywhere north of the Arctic Circle, the answer is zero. If you're at the North Pole, then on December 21, you haven't seen the sun in the past three months, and you won't see it for another three.

The USS Nautilus made the first undersea crossing at the North Pole in 1958.
Officially....on the 27th of June 1915 at Fort Yukon. Interestingly, the Kobuk Sand Dunes (which are 40 miles north of the arctic circle!) in Northwestern Alaska can exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, according to the National Parks Service website.
St. Petersburg, Russia experiences the phenomenon of "White Nights" in June and July due to its high latitude. During this time, the sun only dips below the horizon briefly, keeping the sky bright throughout the night. This unique phenomenon occurs because St. Petersburg is located near the Arctic Circle, where the sun does not fully set during the summer months.
