Talk:Tropic of Capricorn

Tropic of Cancer
Rfv-sense: The parallel of latitude 23°30′south/north of the equator, marking the southern/northern boundary of the tropics; the sun is directly overhead at the winter/summer solstice.

The phrases in these senses "the sun is directly overhead at the ______ solstice" is only true for Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere those seasons are reversed. Would the sense be improved by stating "the sun is directly overhead at the southern/northern summer solstice." ?? Or should the senses make clear that both are only true from the northern point of view: "the sun is directly over head at the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere." - Amgine/t &middot; e 14:08, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
 * The easiest solution would be to say "December solstice" and "June solstice". —Mahāgaja (formerly Angr) · talk 14:46, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
