Answer:
"Tropic of Cancer" is the "parallel of latitude" that divides India into "two halves". It is an "imaginary line" located in the "northern hemisphere" and is currently situated at "23.45°" to the "north of equator". The word tropic has been derived from the Latin word "trope" meaning turning or change in direction. The Latin word "Cancer" means crab in English and is used to refer to the Cancer constellation. In the past, it was at this position that the Sun attained its highest point.
