The tropic of Cancer is 23° North of the Equator. It represents the point where the Sun can be directly overhead. If you are any further north, the Sun can not be overhead. The corresponding feature in the Southern Hemisphere is the Tropic of Capricorn. As to the Sun's direct rays, they can be anywhere from the South Pole to the North Pole. Those two points and everything in between receives the Sun's direct rays at some time during the year.
