If the date is december 21, sun be directly overhead at noon on the Tropic of Capricorn

Step-by-step explanation:

The sun would be clearly overhead on the Tropic of Capricorn on December 21 around early evening. Tropic of Capricorn is 23.5 degrees south extension and this circumstance of the sun on it clearly overhead means the beginning of winter is in the northern side of the equator.

The ''Arctic Circle'' is arranged at 66.5 degrees scope north. On December 21, when the sun is overhead the Tropic of Capricorn, the Arctic Circle won't have the alternative to see the sun at all and subsequently witnesses a ''solidifying atmosphere'' from this time ahead.

The Tropic of Capricorn. It is the circle marking the latitude 23.5 degrees south where the sun is directly overhead at noon on December 21, the beginning of winter in the northern hemisphere.
