Question

6) Does the location of the sun over Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn affect the
climate of South America ? How?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Tropic of Capricorn (or the Southern Tropic) is the circle of latitude that contains the subsolar point on the December (or southern) solstice. It is thus the southernmost latitude where the Sun can be directly overhead. Its northern equivalent is the Tropic of Cancer.

The Tropic of Capricorn is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of Earth. Its latitude is currently 23°26′12.0″ (or 23.43666°)[1] south of the Equator, but it is very gradually moving northward, currently at the rate of 0.47 arcseconds, or 15 metres, per year.

Less than 3% of the world's population lives south of it, as well as about 30% of the population of the Southern Hemisphere.
