The tropics are located at approximately 23.5 degrees north and south latitude, not longitude. The Tropic of Cancer is at 23.5 degrees north latitude, while the Tropic of Capricorn is at 23.5 degrees south latitude.
"The Tropics" refers to the belt around the earth bounded by 23.5 degrees north latitude and 23.5 degrees south latitude. That zone comprises every point on earth where the sun can ever appear overhead at any time of the year.
The tropics
The latitude between zero degrees and 23.5 degrees is referred to as the tropical zone. It includes regions near the equator known as the tropics, where the sun is directly overhead at least once during the year, leading to warm climates.
There are actually two climate zones between the polar zones; the temperate zone and the tropics (tropic zone).In order, they are: Polar Zone (66.5 degrees N latitude)Temperate Zone (23.5 degrees N latitude)Tropics (23.5 degrees N to 23.5 degrees S latitude)Temperate zone (23.5 degrees S latitude)Polar Zone (66.5 degrees S latitude)Hope this helped!
The "tropical latitudes" are the latitudes within 23.5 degrees of the equator, both north and south of it. The half of the "tropics" between the equator and the Arctic Circle is the half between the equator and 23.5 degrees north latitude. The line at 23.5 degrees north latitude that marks the northern boundary of the tropics is the "Tropic of Cancer".
The area between 23 and one half degrees north latitude and 23 and one half degrees south latitude is called the Tropics. This region is characterized by warm temperatures and receives direct sunlight, making it a biodiversity hotspot with lush rainforests and diverse ecosystems.
they are the tropics of cancer and Capricorn
The tropics of Capricorn and Cancer are lines of latitude.
The tropics of Capricorn and Cancer are lines of latitude.
Roughly 23.5 degrees, north and south, respectively.
The tropics are the region of the Earth surrounding the Equator, roughly between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. This area is known for its warm climate, lush vegetation, and biodiversity.
