Which river cuts tropic of cancer twice?
The River Mahi cuts through the Tropic of Cancer twice.
What is the approiximate distance in degrees between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of Capricorn?
The Tropic of Cancer is the parallel of roughly 23.5° north latitude. The Tropic of Capricorn is the parallel of roughly 23.5° south latitude. The angle between them has to be roughly 47°.
What is the purpose of the tropic of Cancer and the tropic of Capricorn?
The Tropic of Cancer represents a line around the earth at 23 degrees 26 minutes north latitude, signifying that this is the farthest north that the Sun reaches. The Tropic of Capricorn lies at a similar latitude south of the equator. The area between these lines is referred to as "the tropics".

Why is the Arctic Circle drawn on the globe?
The Arctic has a unique ecosystem of plants and animals that are found nowhere else on Earth. The Arctic is also special because it is warming at least twice as fast as the rest of the world and is in extreme danger.
Which river crosses twice the tropic of cancer?
River Mahi in India.
At which location is the angle of insolation greatest at solar noon?
At the "sub-point" of the Sun; when your latitude equals the Sun's declination. The Sun will be straight up at that location. It depends on the time of year of course. For example, on the Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn this happens at the summer solstice there. At the equator it happens twice a year, at the equinoxes.
What is the only river that flows both north and south of the equator?
The Congo is the only river that crosses the equator in both a northerly and southerly direction.
At what latitude is the noon sun at zenith?
That may happen - at different times of the year - in any latitude between the tropics - that is, between 23.5 degrees north, and 23.5 degrees south. Note that this angle is precisely the tilt of Earth's axis.
Is the tropic of cancer closer to the equator or the arctic circle?
It's roughly twice as far from the Arctic Circle as it is from the Equator.
