Tropic of Cancer
The Tropic of Cancer is an imaginary line on the Earth's surface at 23.5 degrees north latitude, marking the northernmost point at which the Sun can be directly overhead. This line passes through several countries, including Mexico, Bahamas, Egypt, and India. The Tropic of Cancer is one of the five major circles of latitude, along with the Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, Arctic Circle, and Antarctic Circle. The region between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn is known as the Tropics, where the Sun's rays strike the Earth most directly, resulting in a generally warm and humid climate. This region is home to a diverse range of ecosystems, including Rainforests, Deserts, and Coral reefs. The Tropic of Cancer has significant implications for Climate modeling and Wildlife conservation efforts.
