Top remember it goes by the alphabet cancer comes befor Capricorn so it's first=)
One way to remember the Tropic of Capricorn and Cancer is to think of them as imaginary lines parallel to the Equator, marking the northernmost and southernmost points where the sun appears directly overhead at least once a year. The Tropic of Cancer is located approximately 23.5 degrees north of the Equator, while the Tropic of Capricorn is located approximately 23.5 degrees south of the Equator. Remembering their positions relative to the Equator can help you recall which is which.
It's roughly 23.5 degrees south of the equator, all the way around the Earth.
Oh honey, let me break it down for you. The 5 most important parallels of latitude are the Equator, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle, and Antarctic Circle. They divide the Earth into different climate zones and help us navigate our way around this spinning rock we call home. So, pay attention to these lines if you don't want to get lost in the sauce.
"Above" or "below" depends on how you're holding your map, or how your globe is mounted. But every single point in the United States is NORTH OF the Tropic of Capricorn. The Tropic of Capricorn is half way in between the equator and south pole, and even Hawaii doesn't go south of the equator.

the Equator
They're the half-way point between the poles and the equator !

Bogotá is the nearest to Equator. São Paulo is right on the Tropic of Capricorn, way South.
The equator is at 0 degrees. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The Tropic of Capricorn is at about 22.5 degrees S latitude.

The Tropic of Capricorn is in the southern hemisphere; the Tropic of Cancer is in the northern hemisphere. The way to remember is at the time of year when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, the sun was in the constellation of Capricorn back when the tropics were named.
