# Definitions **Equator**: An imaginary line around Earth at 0° latitude, equidistant from the North and South Poles. It divides Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. **Tropics**: The region between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°S). This is where the Sun can appear directly overhead at least once per year. ## Worked Example **Question**: Singapore is located at approximately 1.3°N latitude. Is it in the tropics? **Solution**: - Singapore's latitude: 1.3°N - Tropic of Cancer: 23.5°N - Tropic of Capricorn: 23.5°S Since 1.3°N falls between 23.5°S and 23.5°N, **yes, Singapore is in the tropics**. This explains why Singapore has a hot, humid climate year-round with no distinct seasons.
