Why is the tropic of cancer hotter than Capricorn?
The Tropic of Cancer is hotter than the Tropic of Capricorn because it is located closer to the equator, where the sun's rays are more direct and intense. Additionally, the Tropic of Cancer receives more direct sunlight for longer durations throughout the year compared to the Tropic of Capricorn.
What is special about the tropics of cancer and Capricorn?
The sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer at the moment of the June solstice, and it is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn at the moment of the December solstice. The area between those two latitudes, from 23.44° south latitude to 23.44° north latitude, is the only part of Earth where the sun can ever be directly overhead.
Is the growing season longer near the tropic of cancer or the equator?

How did the Tropic of Cancer get its name?
Oh, dude, the Tropic of Cancer got its name because back in the day, the sun was in the Cancer constellation during the summer solstice, making it all hot and stuff. So, they named that imaginary line after the zodiac sign Cancer. It's like naming your cat Fluffy because it's fluffy, you know?

Why do areas close to the equator have a maximum duration of 12 hours of daylight?
Longer days at higher latitudes are a result of the Earth's tilt, which makes one pole of the Earth continuously in either day or night. Areas near the tropics (between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn) do not experience longer or shorter days because they are not tilted far enough toward or away from the Sun. They experience days and nights of about 12 hours each all year long.
What would the effect on earth be if the axis were tilted at 28.5 degrees?
-- The Arctic and Antarctic Circles would be 5 degrees farther from the poles than they are now. -- The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn would be 5 degrees farther from the equator than they are now. -- Between the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, the longest day of the year would be longer and the shortest day of the year would be shorter. -- At any one place, the seasons would be somewhat more extreme than they are now.
Why are tropical climates warmer that temperate climates?
Most of Latin America lies within the Tropics- the area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. This area has generally warm temperatures because it receives the direct rays of the sun for much of the year. Yet even within the Tropics, mountain ranges and wind patterns create a variety of climates in the region.

Days are longer.

What is 23 degrees north latitude and 23 degrees south latitude?
All latitudes between the equator and the north pole are called "north latitudes". All of those between the equator and the south pole are called "south" ones. The latitudes in both regions range from zero° at the equator to 90° at the pole.
