Tropic of Cancer
The Tropic of Cancer.
That's the Tropic of Cancer at around 23.44° north latitude, about 35% of the way from the equator to the Arctic Circle.
The Tropic of Capricorn.
The "tropical latitudes" are the latitudes within 23.5 degrees of the equator, both north and south of it. The half of the "tropics" between the equator and the Arctic Circle is the half between the equator and 23.5 degrees north latitude. The line at 23.5 degrees north latitude that marks the northern boundary of the tropics is the "Tropic of Cancer".
No, that latitude is just north of the Arctic Circle, which is at about 66.56° north latitude.
4601.8 miles from the Equator to the Arctic Circle 69.2 miles between latitude lines. From the Equator (0°) to the Arctic Circle (66 .5°) 66.5 X 69.2 = 4601.8 miles
The Tropic of Cancer is to the Tropic of Capricorn as the Arctic Circle is to the Antarctic Circle. They are lines of latitude either north (Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer) or south of the equator.
There are five named latitudes: * The Arctic Circle, * The Tropic of Cancer, * The equator, * The Tropic of Capricorn and * The Antarctic Circle.

The line that goes between the Arctic Circle and the Equator is the Tropic of Cancer, which is located at approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude. It marks the northernmost point where the sun is directly overhead at its zenith.
