Name the States of India Through Which the Tropic of Cancer Passes

Name the states of India through which the tropic of cancer passes.

The Tropic of Cancer is a hypothetical line running across the centre of India at an inclination of 23.5 degrees north of the Equator. This hypothetical line on earth will go through 17 nations, and India is among those 17 nations. In India, there are eight states where the tropic of cancer passes through. Those eight places are Jasdan in Gujarat, Kalinjarh in Rajasthan, Shajapur in Madhya Pradesh, Sunhat in Chhattisgarh, and Lohardaga in Jharkhand, Krishnanagar in West Bengal, Udaipur in Tripura, Champai in Mizoram.

The only river that traverses the Tropic of cancer two times is The Mahi river. It cuts Madhya Pradesh, and then it flows to Gujrat, where it cuts the second time. Udaipur city in Tripura is the nearest city to the tropic of cancer. That’s why even though Udaipur is in the north-east, it is a very hot place in summer. Summer days are very hot in India because the summer solstice is on 21 June, and the sun’s rays fall directly on the tropic of Cancer. It is also known as the Northern tropic, and it is one of the five great spheres of latitude that appear on the globe.
