The tropic that lies 23.5 degrees south of the equator is Capricorn
No, Hawaii is not near the Tropic of Capricorn. The Tropic of Capricorn is located at 23.5 degrees south of the equator, while Hawaii is situated at around 20 degrees north of the equator in the northern hemisphere.
It lies to the south of the equator
An area called the Tropic Zone and the low latitudes zone.
The latitude line 23 degrees 27 minutes south of the equator is the Tropic of Capricorn. It marks the southernmost point where the sun can appear directly overhead, and is located at approximately 23.45 degrees south latitude.
23.5 degrees north latitude or south latitude is known as the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north) or the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 degrees south). These latitudes mark the northernmost and southernmost points where the sun appears directly overhead at some point during the year, resulting in the longest day of the year in the respective hemispheres.
The Tropic of Capricorn lies 23.5 degrees south latitude.
The Tropic of Capricorn is north of the Antarctic Circle. It is a circle of latitude that lies approximately 23.5 degrees south of the Equator.
YES!!! THere are two tropic Lines. One each to the north and south of the Equator. Tropic of Cancer to the North of the Equator at latitude 23.5 degrees N Tropic of Capricorn to the South of the Equator at latitude 23.5 degrees S. The Sun on its yearly movement(angular height in the sky), does NEITHER go North of the Tropic on Cancer NOR South of the Tropic on Capricorn.
The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are lines of latitude that define the Tropics. They also mark the northernmost and southernmost latitudes at which the Sun shines directly overhead at midday during the June solstice and December solstice respectively.
The Tropic of Capricorn is at 23.5 south, while the Tropic of Cancer is 23.5 north.
The Tropic of Cancer.
No, not all of South America is below the Tropic of Cancer. The Tropic of Cancer runs through Mexico, making it the northernmost point for which the sun is directly overhead at the June solstice. South America lies entirely south of the Tropic of Cancer.
