When is the sun directly overhead at the equator?
That happens twice a year, at the time of the 'equinoxes'. It's one moment on or aboutMarch 21, and another one on or about September 21.No definite date can be given, because the calendar is not exactly synchronized to the sunso the date 'wanders' slightly, and also because at the moment when it happens, it's noteven the same date everywhere in the world.
