Who is Tropic of Capricorn?

The Tropic of Capricorn is like a special line on Earth that helps us know when it's summer or winter in different places.

Imagine Earth as a big ball, and the Sun is shining down on it from above. Sometimes the Sun shines directly over one part of Earth, this is where the Tropic of Capricorn is. It’s like a belt around Earth near the bottom, close to where some people live who have really warm weather all year.

When the Sun is right above the Tropic of Capricorn, it means it's summer in that part of the world, and winter in the place that's on the opposite side of Earth. It’s like when you're playing outside on a hot day, and your friend is wearing a coat because it's cold where they are.

This special line helps people know what season it is, just like a clock tells you the time. And every year, the Sun moves up and down this line, just like how your shadow gets shorter or longer depending on the time of day!
