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.
