- Similarly, at the latitude of the Tropic of Cancer, at solar midnight on the December solstice, the Sun will be 90 degrees below the horizon in all directions.

Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Tropic of Cancer article was read about 270,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 43: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
