Dear student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query

The tropic of cancer runs almost half-way through India By tropic
of cancer India is divided into two separate climatic zones While
the southern parts of India lies within in the tropic and
rationally hotter than the northern parts,the latter belongs to the
sub-tropical or the warm tropical zone of the northern hemisphere
Secondaly while the areas lying to the north of the tropic of
cancer will never have the mid day sun overhead while in the areas
of the south to the the tropic of cancer the sun will be exactly at
least twice in a year and Chennai is located at the south of tropic
of cancer

As Delhi lies to the north of the tropic of cancer so it is not
able to see the noon sun exactly overhead twice a year

Hope this information will clear your doubt
