The Tropic of Capricorn
The tropic of Capricorn is a line of all points at the same latitude. So if you're standing on the Tropic of Capricorn and you want to move to another part of it, you have to move east or west.
HI :)

Yes. The Tropic of Capricorn extends from Rockhampton in the east, just north of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, the continues on to cross Western Australia's coast between Carnarvon and Exmouth.
That point is in Namibia, about 145 miles southwest of Windhoek.
The North Tropic Sun line is the Tropic of Cancer. The Tropic of Cancer is a line of latitude circling the Earth at approximately 23.5 degrees North of the equator. It is the Northern boundary of the tropics.
They are parallel lines running east-west around the earth, about 3,240 miles apart.The equator is exactly midway between them.
The most well known Australian city on the Tropic of Capricorn is Rockhampton, on the central Queensland coast.Alice Springs (in the center of Australia) is close, at just under 29 km or 17 miles south of the line.
The Prime Meridian at 0 degrees longitude is the line on the map that divides east from west. Locations to the east of the Prime Meridian are considered in the Eastern Hemisphere, while locations to the west are in the Western Hemisphere.
There is no island group located there at all. If you talking about the Tropic of Cancer, the Bahamas are located about 15 degrees east of the intersection.
