The Tropic of Cancer, also referred to as the Northern Tropic is currently 23°26′13.4″ (or 23.43704°) north of the Equator. It is the most northerly circle of latitude on the Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead.

Figure 6h-5: During the June solstice the Earth's North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees towards the Sun relative to the circle of illumination. This phenomenon keeps all places above a latitude of 66.5 degrees N in 24 hours of sunlight, while locations below a latitude of 66.5 degrees S are in darkness.

Because of rotation, the Earth's surface moves at the equator at a speed of about 467 m per second or slightly over 1675 km per hour. If you could look down at the Earth's North Pole from space you would notice that the direction of rotation is counter-clockwise (Figure 6h-1).

The Tropic of Cancer and The Tropic of Capricorn. The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn each lie at 23.5 degrees latitude. The Tropic of Cancer is located at 23.5° North of the equator and runs through Mexico, the Bahamas, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, and southern China.

Distance between Key West, Florida, USA and the Tropic of Cancer. 124 km = 77 miles. During our calculation of the distance to the Tropic of Cancer we made three assumptions. 1) We assumed a spherical Earth as a close approximation of the true shape of the Earth (an oblate spheroid). The distance was calculated as great-circle or orthodromic distance on the surface of a sphere.

Distance between Paris, France and the Equator. 5438 km = 3379 miles. During our calculation of the distance to the Equator we made three assumptions. 1) We assumed a spherical Earth as a close approximation of the true shape of the Earth (an oblate spheroid). The distance was calculated as great-circle or orthodromic distance on the surface of a sphere.

On these dates, the equator is lined up with the ecliptic plane and the poles are in line with the circle of illumination (Figure 6h-6). During the summer solstice, the subsolar point moves to the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N) because at this time the North Pole is inclined 23.5° toward the Sun (Figures 6h-12 and 6h-13).

Climate is affected by several factors: 1  Latitude - How far a place is from the equator. The nearer a location is to the equator, the hotter it will tend to be and vice versa. 2  Altitude - How high a place is above sea level. Places high above sea level are cooler than those near sea level.

The Tropic of Cancer's position is not fixed, but varies in a complicated manner over time. Currently, it drifts south almost half an arcsecond (0.47″) of latitude per year (it was at exactly 23° 27′ in 1917 and will be at 23° 26' in 2045). See axial tilt and circles of latitude for further information.
