No, that is not necessary. For instance, there are rainforests in British Columbia, Canada, and no part of Canada is south of the Tropic of Cancer.

summer solstice

The Tropic of Capricorn is located at 23°26′22″S, while some may say it is 23 1/2 or 23.5 degrees south.(the best is 23 1/2 because they dont use decimals in degrees, they use fractions)

The Tropic of Capricorn is the southernmost point at which the Sun shines directly overhead at noon at the December solstice.

The Tropic of Capricorn passes through Botswana.

They only exist because people mark them on a globe.

But they represent the most northerly position or most southerly position at which the Sun may appear directly overhead at its highest point.

This event occurs once a year, at the time of the summer solstice - in June, northern hemisphere - or - in December, southern hemisphere.

No it doesn't. The Tropic of Cancer is south of Europe

The Tropic of Cancer - 23.5 degrees north - passes through Asia, Europe and North America, while the Tropic of Capricorn passes through Australia, Africa and South America.

Yes.

The Tropic of Capricorn is in the Southern Hemisphere. (approximately 23.5° S latitude)

The Tropic of Cancer is in the Northern Hemisphere. (approximately 23.5° N latitude)

The tropic of Cancer passes through: Algeria,Niger,Libya-the tropic touches on the northernmost point of Chad, Egypt,Red sea, Saudi Arabia, Ebu Dhabi Emirate, Oman,Arabian Sea,India, Bangladesh,Burma,China,Taiwan,Hawaii,Mexico,Bahamas,Mali and Mauritania. The tropic of Capricorn passes through: Atlantic Ocean,Namibia,Botswana,South Africa,Mozambique,Indian ocean,Madagascar,Australia,Pacific Ocean,Chile,Argentina,Paraguay and Brazil. Equator: Atlantic Ocean,Sao Tomeoa,Principe,Republic of the Congo,Uganda,Lake Victoria,Kenya,Somalia,Indian Ocean,Maldives,Indonesia,Pacific Ocean,Kiribati,Baker Island-USA,Ecuador, Brazil.

Rio de Janeiro.

No, the River Niger does not cut the Tropic of Cancer.

the tropic of cancer is above, and the tropic of Capricorn is below.

A list of such countries would be very long; suffice it to say, it would include every country which has a boundary on, or within 23.5° of either side of, the equator. This is approximately 2/5 (40%) of the total surface of the Earth!

Top remember it goes by the alphabet cancer comes befor Capricorn so it's first=)

Many world cities are located in the tropics, including:

- Mexico City, Panama City, and all of the capitals of Central America

- Havana (Cuba), San Juan (Puerto Rico), and the capitals of the Caribbean islands

- Bogota (Colombia), Caracas (Venezuela), Brasilia, and capitals of Peru and Bolivia

- Almost all of the capitals of African countries, except those on the Mediterannean or in extreme South Africa.

- Mumbai (India), Colombo (Sri Lanka), Bangkok (Thailand), and all of the cities of Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.

- Manila and all of the cities of the Philippines

- Darwin (Australia)

- Honolulu (Hawaii, US) and Papeete (Tahiti)

The Isthmus Of Panama

Yes. It crosses the Prime Meridian. The other two lines mentioned

are both parallel to the equator, and to each other.

All of the US is above the Tropic of Capricorn. However, if you are talking about the Tropic of Cancer, all states except Hawaii are above it.

The Tropic of Capricorn is the farthest south on the earth where the sun can be directly overhead at any time.

Technically, that only happens at a single moment, at some time on December 21 or 22.

The Gibson, Kalahari, Atacama and Namib deserts.

Each of those lines crosses parts of Africa. I am surprised.
