The Tropic of Capricorn is the farthest south on the earth where the sun can be directly overhead at any time.
Technically, that only happens at a single moment, at some time on December 21 or 22.
The day is called the "beginning of Winter" in the northern Hemisphere, and the "beginning of Summer"
in the Southern Hemisphere.
