What is the point directly under the sun at any point of time called?
It is the sub-solar point. It is the point where the Sun is directly overhead. The sub-solar point has a latitude equal to the Sun's declination at any moment, so all points on Earth between latitudes of ±23½ degrees can be the sub-solar point. If you want to know the direction to the sub-solar point at any instant from where you are, just point at the Sun and then move your arm vertically downwards so that it points horizontally. If you want to know the distance to the sub-solar point, measure the Sun's angle relative to overhead where you are. The distance (in nautical miles) is 60 times that angle in degrees.
