Oh honey, let me break it down for you. The 5 most important parallels of latitude are the Equator, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle, and Antarctic Circle. They divide the Earth into different climate zones and help us navigate our way around this spinning rock we call home. So, pay attention to these lines if you don't want to get lost in the sauce.
ALL of the US lies in the North Temperate Zone, EXCEPT:-- the State of Hawaii is in the Tropic Zone-- a small northern strip of the State of Alaska is in the North Polar Zone.
The Tropic of Capricorn is in the southern hemisphere, and all 50 US states are north of it. The Tropic of Cancer is in the northern hemisphere and 49 US states are north of it. Hawaii is south of it.
Tropical climates are found between 0 degrees (Equator) and 23 and 1/2 degrees north or south of the Equator - (Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn). You can locate these latitudes in an atlas.
All 50 states in United States are north of the equator. Only Hawaii is south of the Tropic of Cancer (the islands are 19° to 22° N latitude).The only territory of the US that is south of the equator is American Samoa (near 13°S, 170°W).All fifty US states are located north of the equator.
