DEFINITION OF TROPICS

The tropics fall between 10° and 25° north and

south latitude, bounded on the low-latitude side by equatorial

regions, and on the high latitude side by subtropical then

mid-latitude belts. Most informal usages of the term tropics

include the entire latitudinal belt between the tropics of Cancer

(23.5°N) and Capricorn (23.5°S). The tropics are characterized

by a marked seasonal cycle, because the sun is directly

overhead the tropic of Cancer at the summer solstice, and

above the tropic of Capricorn at the winter solstice. This

causes a large variation in the solar insolation at different

times of the year in each tropical zone.
