Riyadh monitors sun's position at Tropic of Cancer
The Riyadh Municipality, represented by the Al-Houda Bani Tamim Municipality, has prepared a site to observe the phenomenon of the sun's zenith passage over the Tropic of Cancer on June 22, 2026. This event occurs annually between June 21 and 23. The site is the only one in the Kingdom that the imaginary line of the Tropic of Cancer, located at a latitude of 23°26′10.8″ North of the Equator, passes through, where sunlight reaches a perpendicular angle to the Earth's surface in the Northern Hemisphere. A viewing area and an informational screen have been set up to explain the phenomenon, with the goal of raising awareness of astronomy and natural phenomena.
