Pacman, please stop asking the same questions... https://earthscience.stackexchange.com/questions/24696/tropic-of-cancer-capricorn-and-sun-position is basically the same question as far as I can tell from a couple weeks ago.

# The Sun's location in noon and tropic of Cancer/Capricorn

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-01-10)

I came across this [article](https://study.com/academy/lesson/importance-of-the-tropic-of-cancer-the-tropic-of-capricorn.html) and I would like to clarify a few moments:

Does it mean if I am located north of the Tropic of Cancer and I point a compass to the Sun at noon, the Sun will alway be in south.

And the same for the Tropic of Capricorn:

> if you're somewhere south of the Tropic of Capricorn, the Sun appears to be always north of the zenith

If I am located south of the Tropic of Capricorn and I point a compass to the Sun at noon, the Sun will alway be in north.
