Final answer:

The Tropic of Cancer is at 16° N latitude and the Tropic of Capricorn is at 74° S latitude. There would be less variation in the tilt of Earth and less variation in the Sun's paths throughout the year, resulting in milder seasonal changes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tropic of Cancer is at a latitude equal to Earth's tilt, so in this case, it would be at 16° N latitude. The Tropic of Capricorn is at a latitude equal to 90° minus Earth's tilt, or 90° - 16° = 74°.

The difference between these two latitudes is 74° - 16° = 58°. Since the tilt of Earth is less, there would be less variation in the tilt of Earth and less variation in the Sun's paths throughout the year, so there would be milder seasonal changes.
