where is the tropic of cancer located?

Answer 1

Tropic of Cancer


parallel of latitude at 23°30′ north of the equator; it is the northern boundary of the tropics. This parallel marks the farthest point north at which the sun can be seen directly overhead at noon; north of the parallel the sun appears less than 90° from the southern horizon at any day of the year. The sun reaches its vertical position over the Tropic of Cancer at about June 22, the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. When the Tropic of Cancer was named, the sun was in the constellation Cancer at the time of the summer solstice.

Tropic Of Cancer Location

Answer 3

The Equator, Prime Meridian, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn are all imaginary lines.

Equator: Located at zero degrees latitude (North or South,) is 24,901.55 miles long and divides the Planet Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn: Located at 23.5 degrees North and 23.5 degrees South of the Equator, this area of Planet Earth (between those two lines) is known as the "Tropics," and is indicated with a lighter blue color on the above globe. This area experiences no dramatic change in season because the sun is consistantly high in the sky throughout the year.

People living North of the Tropic of Cancer and South of the Tropic of Capricorn experience dramatic seasonal climate changes, based on the earth's tilt, and the subsequent angle of the sun. When it's summer North of the Tropic of Cancer, it's winter South of the Tropic of Capricorn. (The reverse is also true)

Prime Meridian: Located at zero degrees longitude (East or West), it divides the Planet Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, and is the line from which all other lines of longitude are measured.

Answer 4

The Tropic of Cancer (cancer is Latin for crab), or Northern tropic is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. It is the parallel of latitude that lies currently 23° 26' 22" north of the Equator.

It is the farthest northern latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead, which occurs on the June solstice. North of this line is the subtropics and Northern Temperate Zone. The Tropic of Capricorn is at the opposite latitude south of the Equator. South of the Tropic of Cancer and north of the Tropic of Capricorn are the Tropics.
The Tropic of Cancer passes through the following countries (going east):

United States of America (Hawaii) - misses every island, passing between Nihoa and Necker Island
Mexico
Bahamas
Western Sahara (claimed by Morocco)
Mauritania
Mali
Algeria
Niger
Libya
Chad - North-most point is defined by Tropic of Cancer
Egypt
Saudi Arabia
United Arab Emirates
Oman
India
Bangladesh
Myanmar
China
