Add Tropic of Capricorn and Cancer

The addition of the Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer lines on the map would allow me to show students the northern and southern boundaries of direct overhead sun on the solstices. Also the addition of the Arctic and Antarctic Circles would allow us to see the limits of the sun's reach during the corresponding hemisphere's winter season

The explanation could be clearer, eg if you are in Port Gentil in the Gabon, the orange line is not a curve but a straight line. Maybe a little ineractive explanation would help. This is brilliant for teachers and astronomers (imagine adding the Planets?)
