The Tropic of Cancer is the line that joins all points on the earth whose latitude
is roughly 23.5 degrees north. There is one of those points at every possible
longitude.
Both! All lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of cancer are high latitudes, and lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of capricorn are considered low latitudes. ***THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TROPICAL LATITUDES*** <- those I can't name

Yes.
These were named approx. 2000 years ago when 1) the sun was positioned in the Cancer constellation during the June solstice, and 2) the sun was positioned in the Capricorn constellation during the December solstice.

The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are respectively the Earth's furthest north and south latitudes.
The Tropic of Cancer passes through the eastern, western, and northern hemispheres.North, South and EastThe Tropic of Cancer is completely in the Northern hemisphereEquator: The boundary between the northern and southern hemispheres, extending through all longitudes. All hemispheres.Prime Meridian: The boundary between eastern and western hemispheres, extending through all latitudes. All hemispheres.Tropic of Cancer: The parallel of 23.5 north latitude, extending through all longitudes. Northern, eastern, western hemispheres.Tropic of Capricorn: The parallel of 23.5 south latitude, extending through all longitudes. hemispheres. Southern, eastern western hemispheres.
The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are the most northern and southern latitudes on Earth where the sun can be seen directly overhead.
No, because latitudes are used to identify heat climates zones & longitudes are used for calculating time.
