Their difference is that one can be found on the northern part of the equator while another one can be found on the southern part of the equator but they have the same distance, as you can see, from the equator. Another difference between the two is that whenever the northern part of equator or the tropic of cancer is experiencing the "summer" season, the opposite of it or the tropic of capricorn is experiencing the "winter" season. It goes the same with the tropic of capricorn. If in any case the tropic of capricorn is experiencing the "summer" season, the tropic of cancer is experiencing the "winter" season. It goes that way, you know.
