Tropic of cancer passes almost through the centre of India so it helps in copping up widthe tym difference b/w north and south India..... ALso it povides a goodsource of solar energy .......Many seasons also come .............Tropic of Cancer is the circle marking the latitude 23.5 degrees north, where the sun is directly overhead at noon on June 21, the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere. The Tropic of Capricorn is the circle marking the latitude 23.5 degrees south where the sun is directly overhead at noon on December 21, the beginning of winter in the northern hemisphere. When the lines were named 2000 years ago, the Sun was in the constellation of Capricorn during the winter solstice and Cancer during the summer solstice (hence the names). Now due to the precession of the equinoxes the sun is no longer in these constellations during these times, but the names remain.The equator is the circle where the sun is directly overhead at noon on the equinoxes.
