<P> The tropics are a region of the Earth surrounding the Equator . They are delimited in latitude by the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere at 23 ° 26 ′ 13.1 '' ( or 23.43698 ° ) N and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere at 23 ° 26 ′ 13.1 '' ( or 23.43698 ° ) S ; these latitudes correspond to the axial tilt of the Earth . The tropics are also referred to as the tropical zone and the torrid zone ( see geographical zone ) . The tropics include all the areas on the Earth where the Sun contacts the zenith , a point directly overhead , at least once during the solar year ( which is a subsolar point ) . </P>
