   Thermal Characteristics and Latitudinal Constraints
   Tropical climates are strictly confined between the Tropic of Cancer (approximately $23.5^\circ$ N) and the Tropic of Capricorn (approximately $23.5^\circ$ S). This latitudinal constraint ensures that the Sun's zenith angle remains relatively high throughout the year, minimizing the seasonal flux in incoming solar radiation. Mean monthly temperatures rarely deviate by more than $3^\circ \text{C}$ from the annual mean, a phenomenon known as "thermal monotony" [3](/entries/cit…
