Explanation:

The mainland of India extends between latitudes 8°4'N and 37°6'N. The Tropic of Cancer, 23°30'N, passes halfway through the country. This has its implications for the climate of India as well as influences the duration of day and night.

Places on either side of the Tropic of Cancer experience tropical climate. The tropical monsoon type of climate that India experiences is extreme on account of the Tropic of Cancer. Places further south of Indian Union away from the Tropic of Cancer have more equable climate being closer to equator. Places further north of the Tropic of Cancer have subtropical climate. The sun shines directly on the Tropic of Cancer on 21st June or Summer Solstice. Countries in the Northern Hemisphere including India experience summer during this part of the year.

It is also associated with maximum heating of tropics during this period that influences advance of monsoons or rainy season.

Areas along the Tropic of Cancer have their longest day on 21st June. These areas have their shortest day on 22nd December or Winter Solstice when the sun rays are directly overhead the Tropic of Capricorn.
