The tropical (torrid) climate zone is centered around the equator and limited by the Tropic of Cancer (23,5° N) in the northern hemisphere and by the Tropic of Capricorn (23,5° S) in the southern hemisphere. The angle of the plane of the sun´s apparent path varies between 90 and 66,5 degrees and the angle of the sun´s rays (Solar Altitude) between 90 und 43 degrees. Day length varies between +/- 0 to +/- 1,5 h from 12 h at the Equinox and average temperatures are between 26 and 22 degrees Celsius.
