Concept:The apparent yearly movement of the Sun is bounded between two fixed latitude lines on Earth.Explanation:The Sun appears to travel north and south of the Equator over the course of a year.Its farthest northern point is the Tropic of Cancer at approximately $23.5^\circ$ N.Its farthest southern point is the Tropic of Capricorn at approximately $23.5^\circ$ S.These two tropics mark the extreme limits where the Sun can ever be directly overhead at noon.At the June solstice, the Sun is overhead at the Tropic of Cancer.At the December solstice, the Sun is overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn.Thus, the boundaries of the Sun's apparent movement are exactly these two parallels of latitude.Answer:Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
