What parts of China are in the tropics?

China is located in tropical areas: Hainan Island, Leizhou Peninsula, southern Yunnan and Taiwan Province Province.

The English name of the Tropics is tropics. The sun is high in this area all year round. In the vast area between the Tropic of Cancer, there are direct sunlight twice a year. On the tropic of cancer, there is only direct sunlight once a year. Moreover, the height of the sun is very high at noon all the year round, with little change. Therefore, this area can get strong sunshine all year round, and the climate is hot, which is called the tropics.

On the equator, the length of day and night is equal throughout the year. From the equator to the Tropic of Cancer, the length of day and night changes gradually. On the regression line, the difference between the longest day and the shortest day is 2 hours and 50 minutes. It can be seen that in tropical areas, the latitude difference of astronomical phenomena is very small.

Tropical climate distribution:

1. The tropical rain forest climate is mainly distributed near the equator, and it is hot and rainy all year round or even every month.

2. The tropical grassland climate is mainly distributed in the north and south sides of the equatorial rainforest climate in Africa and South America. It is hot all year round, with obvious dry season and rainy season (precipitation is divided into dry season and wet season).

3. The tropical monsoon climate is most obvious in the Indian Peninsula and Indochina Peninsula in the south and southeast of Asia. This climate is hot all year round, and a year can also be divided into dry season and rainy season, and the wind direction changes with the seasons. In dry season, the wind blows from land to sea, and there is little rain; In the rainy season, the wind blows from the ocean to the land, and the precipitation is concentrated.

4. The tropical desert climate is mainly distributed in the west coast and inland areas of the mainland near the Tropic of Cancer. This climate is characterized by scarce precipitation, hot and dry all year round, and a large desert on the ground.
