What lines measure the distance north and south of the equator?
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.

List the continents below the Tropic of Cancer?
Antarctica is the only continent completely in the southern hemisphere that doesn't touch the Tropic of Capricorn. Oceania is also completely in the southern hemisphere, but it does reach the Tropic of Capricorn, although parts of it are just in the southern hemisphere. Antarctica is the only continent that reaches the Antarctic Circle, and the South Pole is part of Antarctica, but yet Antarctica is so big that it even goes out of the Antarctic Circle which means Northern Sweden is closer to the North Pole than Northern Antarctica is the South Pole.
How many states are above the tropic of capicorn?
"Above" or "below" depends on how you're holding your map, or how your globe is mounted. But every single point in the United States is NORTH OF the Tropic of Capricorn. The Tropic of Capricorn is half way in between the equator and south pole, and even Hawaii doesn't go south of the equator.

The globe is commonly divided from north to south into five zones between the North Pole and the South Pole. From the North Pole to the Arctic Circle is the arctic zone. From the Arctic Circle to the Tropic of Cancer is the temperate zone. From the South Pole to the Antarctic Circle is the antarctic zone. From the Antarctic Circle to the Tropic of Capricorn is also the temperate zone. In the middle, from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn (with the Equator in the middle) is the tropic zone, or the Tropics. Most of Africa lies in this part of the world.
