Arc is when, instead of shooting the ball straight at the basket, one shoots the ball more vertically and let's the ball fall into the basket. The purposes of arc on a shot are to create backspin on the ball, prevent the defense from blocking a shot, and to eliminate the reliance on the backboard and give one a more diverse variety of shots.

What is a ark in basketball?
It could be many things! 1. the arc of your shot, which is the point from when the ball leaves your hand to the point it reaches the basket. If your arc isn't right, your shot could be too flat or too high and looped and shooting percentage is lowered. 2. the 3-point line is often refered to as the arc in basketball, including in the NBA/WNBA. If you score from outside the 'arc', you get three points instead of two. Hope I helped! :)
