The Topic of Cancer is about 23 and a quarter degrees north of the Equator, while the Tropic of Capricorn is about 23 and a quarter degrees south of the Equator. The two, therefore, are about 46 and a half degrees apart. Divide by 360 and multiply by the meridianal circumference of the Earth (40008 km) and you get about 5168 km.

How many degrees on tropic of Capricorn?
The Tropic of Capricorn is at just under 23.5 degrees south latitude. There are 90 degrees of latitude from the equator to the pole, which is one quarter of the earth's circumference. Since the earth's circumference is about 25,000 miles, one quarter of it is about 6,250 miles. The distance from the equator to the tropic is therefore approximately 6,250x23.5/90 = 1,630 miles (2,630 km). The distance from the equator to the Tropic of Cancer, at 23.5 degrees north latitude, is the same.
