There are two tropics, shown on maps as horizontal lines running round the earth The one north of the equator is called the Tropic of Cancer, and the southerly one the Tropic of Capricorn
Technically, the area between the Tropic of Cancer (21-1/2 N latitude) and the Tropic of Capricorn (21-1/2 S latitude), characterized by the absence of a cold season Often used to describe any area possessing what is considered to be a hot, humid climate
Region of the Earth from latitude 23 5 degrees north--the Tropic of Cancer--southward across the equator to latitude 23 5 degrees south--the Tropic of Capricorn
Either of two parallels of terrestrial latitude at a distance of about 23 1/2 degrees north or south of the equator where the sun is directly overhead when it reaches its most northerly or southerly point in th sky
The area between 23 5 degrees north and south of the equator This region has small daily and seasonal changes in temperature, but great seasonal changes in precipitation
refers to the region of Earth from latitude 23 5º north (the Tropic of Cancer) southward across the equator to latitude 23 5º south (the Tropic of Capricorn) This region has relatively small daily and seasonal changes in temperature, but great seasonal changes in precipitation
The tropics are the parts of the world that lie between two lines of latitude, the tropic of Cancer, 23½° north of the equator, and the tropic of Capricorn, 23½° south of the equator
area between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn within 1600 miles north and south of the equator with a hot and humid climate and a consistent amount of daylight throughout the year
