The parallel for 0 degrees 00'00 latitude is called the Equator.It is actually a place in Quite, Ecuador. A tourist trap, where you can visit the "middle" of the world. It has a huge sign telling you that this is Latitude 00° 00' 00"
This area experiences no dramatic change in season because the sun is consistently high in the sky throughout the year.
More Than "almost." the sun hits right on the equator. In fact, if you have a flagpole on the equator, there will be no shadow at noon. But the equator is not the only place where this happens. This happens Up to the tropics (tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn).
The sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer at the moment of the June solstice, and it is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn at the moment of the December solstice. The area between those two latitudes, from 23.44° south latitude to 23.44° north latitude, is the only part of Earth where the sun can ever be directly overhead.
Its a place not a time.
The Tropic of Cancer is an east-west line on the map representing the northernmost place where the sun is ever directly overhead. It is debatable whether there is any such thing as the "opposite" of a line. But you could say the counterpart of the Tropic of Cancer is the Tropic of Capricorn, which is the line that is the southernmost place where the sun is ever directly overhead.

My thought is that this navigator was killed on an place on the Tropic of Cancer. On a mountain top while running from the murders.

Since it is higher up on the earth, then it gets less direct sunlight than ex. a place near the Tropic of Capricorn through the tropic of cancer
It's an imaginary line, much like the equator.
The day is June 20 or June 21 that the solstice takes place. During the summer solstice the duration of day time is directly over the tropic of cancer.
The areas of Earth around the equator called the "tropics" between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn have little seasonal variation. It's usually summer all year long.
This area experiences no dramatic change in season because the sun is consistently high in the sky throughout the year.
A firm figure can't be given, since the exact latitude of the Tropic of Cancer varies slightly, on an amazingly short time scale. So the following must be considered an approximation: The south corner of the headstone of the Arc de Triomphe in the Place Charles de Gaulle is 2,826.22 kilometers north of the Tropic of Cancer. For other spots around town, the distance may of course be somewhat different.
