What do the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn define?
The tropics.
Are the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn line of latitude or longitude?
The tropics of Capricorn and Cancer are lines of latitude.
What are the areas between the equator and the tropics called?
The major imaginary latitudinal lines on the earth's suface from north to south are - * the Arctic Circle * the Tropic of Cancer * the Equator * the Tropic of Capricorn * the Antarctic Circle
How was the tropic of cancer and the tropic of Capricorn determined?
It is to indicate the start and end of the Tropics. It also shows the northernmost and southernmost points on Earth where the Sun shines directly overhead at midday in the June solstice and December solstice respectively.

If Earth's axis were tilted at 33.5 degreees instead of 23.5 degreees where would the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and the Arctic and Antarctic circles be located?
Since the earth is titled 23.5 degres from 90 This gives us the article circles and the tropics where they are today if you increase the tild by ten degrees you wil increas those by ten degrees as well.
Is the topic of Capricorn north or south of the Antarctic Circle?
Both "tropics" are north of the Antarctic Circle. This one is in the southern hemisphere. The tropic of cancer is in the northern hemisphere.

No; neither of the tropics is a great circle. The only line of latitude that is a great circle is the equator. The arctic and antarctic circles are not great circles, either.
What are the areas between the equator and the tropics called?
The major imaginary latitudinal lines on the earth's suface from north to south are - * the Arctic Circle * the Tropic of Cancer * the Equator * the Tropic of Capricorn * the Antarctic Circle
What lines of latitude are the the tropics?
they are the tropics of cancer and Capricorn
What would the effect on earth be if the axis were tilted at 28.5 degrees?
-- The Arctic and Antarctic Circles would be 5 degrees farther from the poles than they are now. -- The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn would be 5 degrees farther from the equator than they are now. -- Between the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, the longest day of the year would be longer and the shortest day of the year would be shorter. -- At any one place, the seasons would be somewhat more extreme than they are now.
What are the other four important lines of latitude called?
Arctic Circle Tropic of Cancer Tropic of Capricorn Antarctic Circle Additional important line not mentioned in the texts is: Equator Reference links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latitude http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:WorldMapLongLat-eq-circles-tropics-non.png
