What new thing did you learn about Earth-Sun relations? If you didn't learn anything new, what things about this are most relevant to you?

Expert Solution

I learned that the Tropics of Cancer and of Capricorn are important because the sun's vertical rays will hit them on the winter and summer solstices. In the summer solstice, the vertical rays of the sun hit the Tropic of Cancer. This means that at noon, the sun is directly overhead. During the winter solstice, the sun's vertical rays will hit the Tropic of Capricorn at noon there.
