The regions between about 23.5 degrees to 60 degrees, north and south, are often called the "temperate" zones. From 23.5S to 23.5N are the "tropics", the area between the Tropic of Capricorn to the Tropic of Cancer.
The tropical zone, also known as the tropics, is located between 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south latitudes. This region is characterized by warm temperatures, high humidity, and distinct wet and dry seasons.
There are 180 degrees between north and south in a compass rose.
One is north, the other south, of the equator. The difference is 60 - (-60) = 120 degrees.

Horse latitudes or Subtropical High are subtropic latitudes between 30 and 35 degrees both north and south.
They are between 23 1/2 degrees north and south of the Equator.
