tropic of cancer and tropic of capricorn are lines of
Tropic of Cancer The Tropic of Cancer, also referred to as the Northern Tropic, is currently 23°26′13.1″ (or 23.43696°) north of the Equator. It is the most northerly circle of latitude on Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead. This occurs on the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its maximum extent.[1]
Noon Solar noon (informally high noon)[3] is the moment when the Sun contacts the observer's meridian, reaching its highest position above the horizon on that day ("Sun transit time"). This is also the origin of the terms ante meridiem (a.m.) and post meridiem (p.m.), as noted below. The Sun is directly overhead at solar noon at the Equator on the equinoxes, at the Tropic of Cancer (latitude 23°26′13.0″ N) on the June solstice and at the Tropic of Capricorn (23°26′13.0″ S) on the December solstice. In the Northern Hemisphere, north of the Tropic of Cancer, the Sun is due south of the observer at solar noon; in the Southern Hemisphere, south of the Tropic of Capricorn, it is due north.
