The Tropic of Cancer is at approximately 23.5° N, marking the farthest northern locations that can have the Sun directly overhead at some time of the year. Farther north, the noonday Sun will always be to the south.
What is the name given to 23.5 north latitude?
I believe the name you're looking for is the Tropic of Cancer which currently lies at 23° 26′ 22″N. This latitude marks the northernmost point of the apparent movement of the sun on the Earth's surface. The corresponding point in the southern hemisphere is known as the Tropic of Capricorn. These points vary slightly over time, but are generally considered to be at approximately 23.5 degrees north or south of the Equator.

Which two imaginary lines mark the tropical climate regions?
The Tropic of Cancer is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes N latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the northern Summer Solstice. It also marks the northernmost point of the Tropic Zone. The Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the southern Summer Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Tropic Zone.
