The Tropic of Cancer is an imaginary line, a latitude line circling the Earth at 23°26′22″N. or about 23.5 degrees north of the equator.
It is the northernmost latitude on the surface of the Earth where the Sun can shine directly overhead, which occurs at midday on the summer solstice. For places north of the Tropic of Cancer, the Sun will always appear to be south of directly overhead.
*Locations in the tropics (i.e. closer to the equator, between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn) will show almost no difference in seasonal daylight hours.
