North of the tropic are the [[subtropics]] and the [[temperate climate|North Temperate Zone]]. The equivalent line of latitude south of the Equator is called the [[Tropic of Capricorn]], and the region between the two, centered on the Equator, is the [[tropics]].

In the year 2000, more than half of the world's population lived north of the Tropic of Cancer.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Quigley |first1=Robert |title=The World's Population Mapped by Latitude and Longitude |url=https://www.themarysue.com/world-population-latitude-longitude/ |website=The Mary Sue |date=12 August 2010 |access-date=11 January 2021}}</ref>
