The tropics of Capricorn and Cancer are lines of latitude.
The tropics are located at approximately 23.5 degrees north and south latitude, not longitude. The Tropic of Cancer is at 23.5 degrees north latitude, while the Tropic of Capricorn is at 23.5 degrees south latitude.
tropic of cancer
Roughly 23.5 degrees, north and south, respectively.
The most important line of latitude is the Equator. Other important parallels are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
The tropics of Capricorn and Cancer are latitudinal lines similar to the equator on the globe. The Tropic of Cancer is the northernmost latitude at which the sun appears overhead at noon (at the summer solstice). The Tropic of Capricorn is the equivalent southern latitude, except that the sun is overhead on the winter solstice. Currently, the Tropics of Cancer and Cancer lie just over 23 degrees from the equator. These two latitudinal limits are also the limits of the geographical region known as the Tropics. If you live outside the Tropics, then the sun will not be directly overhead at any time of the year, but will instead always be to the south or north.
