Why is it that Ahmedabad in the west and Kolkata in the east are able to see the noon- sun exactly overhead twice a year, but not Delhi?


Places situated between the Equator and the Tropic of Cancer (in Northern Hemisphere) receive generally the sun shining at noon twice a year overhead. Delhi (28°38' N) does not fall within them while Kolkata (22°34' N) and Ahmedabad (23°3' N) enjoy that position.
