What are the three lines of latitude beside the equator answer?

The line at about 23.5°N is called theTropic of Cancerand the line about 66.5°N is called the Arctic Circle.The Tropic of Cancer (23° 26′ 22″) is the farthest latitude north that can have the Sun directly overhead (at the summer solstice).The Arctic Circle (66° 33′ 39″) marks the point beyond which one would experience at least one 24-hour "day" and one 24-hour "night" per year. (The night is when the Sun reaches overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn, because it can only illuminate one-half of the Earth at a time).At the North Pole, there is, in effect, a 6-month continuous day and a 6-month continuous night (the Sun is overhead south of the Equator).
