What is the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 23°30′ N

The Tropic of Cancer is located at approximately 23°30′ N latitude, so option B is correct. It is one of the important parallels of latitude and marks the northern limit at which the Sun can appear directly overhead during the annual cycle. In India, the Tropic of Cancer crosses the central part of the country and is commonly used to explain India’s location and broad climatic contrast. Option A is near the southern limit of India’s mainland, while option C is near the northern limit of the mainland. Option D is not a latitude at all; it is an east longitude and is India’s Standard Meridian. The direction and coordinate type therefore help eliminate the distractors.
