The Limpopo River cuts through the Tropic of Capricorn twice.
The Congo is the only river that crosses the equator in both a northerly and southerly direction.
The River Mahi cuts through the Tropic of Cancer twice.
The sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn during the solstices, which occur twice a year - around June 21 and December 21. This results in the longest and shortest days of the year in the respective hemispheres.
The Mahi River cuts the Tropic of Cancer twice in India. It first crosses it in the state of Gujarat and then again in the state of Rajasthan.
The Tropic of Cancer is the parallel of roughly 23.5° north latitude. The Tropic of Capricorn is the parallel of roughly 23.5° south latitude. The angle between them has to be roughly 47°.

Yes, the Damodar River in India crosses the Tropic of Cancer twice. It first crosses the Tropic of Cancer in Jharkhand and then again in West Bengal before flowing into the Bay of Bengal.
Sun rays fall vertically on the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn twice a year during the summer solstice and winter solstice, respectively. This is when these locations experience either the longest or shortest day of the year.
That may happen - at different times of the year - in any latitude between the tropics - that is, between 23.5 degrees north, and 23.5 degrees south. Note that this angle is precisely the tilt of Earth's axis.
The Tropic of Cancer represents a line around the earth at 23 degrees 26 minutes north latitude, signifying that this is the farthest north that the Sun reaches. The Tropic of Capricorn lies at a similar latitude south of the equator. The area between these lines is referred to as "the tropics".
The Arctic has a unique ecosystem of plants and animals that are found nowhere else on Earth. The Arctic is also special because it is warming at least twice as fast as the rest of the world and is in extreme danger.
