Question

tropic of capricorn
tropic of cancer
equator
arctic circle

Explanation:

The winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere occurs when the Sun is directly overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5°S). This is the southernmost point where the Sun can be directly overhead. The Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N) has the Sun directly overhead during the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. The equator has the Sun directly overhead during the equinoxes. The Arctic Circle is not a location where the Sun is directly overhead at any time of the year.

Answer:

Tropic of Capricorn
