    Solution

    The Tropic of Cancer passes through eight Indian states: Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura, and Mizoram. This important geographical line at approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude divides India into tropical and subtropical regions, significantly influencing climate patterns across the subcontinent. The states through which it passes experience distinct seasonal variations and agricultural conditions compared to southern states. This geographical feature has historical, cultural, and economic implications for the development of these regions.
