Answer 1

the tropics are imaginary lines on the earth like the equator... all they represent is where the sun no longer DIRECTLY hits the earths surface...above/ below them the sun that hits there is just light that has been reflected and deflected and is not hitting it directly like it hits at the equator

They don't. The Tropic of Cancer, and The Tropic of Capricorn are latitude lines on the earth that are directly in line with the sun, at the Vernal (spring in the northern hemisphere) and Autumnal ( fall in the northern hemisphere) Equinox. That is how the seasons are measured.

Answer 3
