Let's forget about "almost", and just talk about perfectly perpendicular sun,
that is, directly over your head.
That can happen anywhere in the Tropic Zone ... the belt around the middle of the
globe between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. That's every place
with latitude of 23.5 degrees or less, north or south.
It happens twice a year at every latitude in the Tropics, and it never happens
anywhere else on earth.
The equator
It is the angle at which sunlight strikes the area.
Sunlight that lands directly on the equator is spread out the least across the Earth's surface since it is perpendicular, providing the most energy (heat) per unit area. Near the poles, the angle of incidence of the sun's rays spread them out over a much greater area, providing less energy (heat) per unit area.

yea me too some one answer please !!!!!!!!!
Answer:sunlight strikes the poles at an oblique angle. From the polar regions, the sun is low in the sky, so that the sunlight hits the earth at a low angle, as it does for us in the morning and evening. This low angle means that the sunlight is more spread out, and thus warms the surface less. The polar regions of earth are not cooler because they are farther away from the equator, and they are not cooler because they are farther from the sun. The poles are only about 3000 km farther from the sun than is the equator at noon. This is about 0.002% of the earth-sun distance -- hardly significant.
a direct ray is where the sun light hits the earth at a 90 degree angle so the angle of sunlight is perpendicular to the earths surface
Sunlight is at its strongest when it is at a perpendicular angle; at oblique angles it is weaker.
almost 90, lines are not quite perpendicular.
No but a right angle is a perpendicular
An angle bisector bisects an angle. A perpendicular bisector bisects a side.
Draw a perpendicular from the point where the incident ray is reflected and the angle between the perpendicular and reflected ray is the angle of reflection.
I can be. Perpendicular is a "T", with the stem SOMETIMES moved to the left or right. So, yes, a right angle CAN be perpendicular.
perpendicular lines always form a right angle
The radius is DE
Yes it can.
Angle
Draw a perpendicular to that line and extend the arms of the angle to meed the perpendicular drawn earlier. Check if the line is bisecting the perpendicular, if yes, then the line is a bisector of the angle. :)
