At the Summer Solstice in the northern hemisphere, the Sun is at 23.5 degrees north of the equator, which is its maximum declination. At the fall equinox, the Sun is at the equator, and on the winter solstice, the Sun reaches 23.5 degrees south of the equator. At the spring equinox, the Sun is passing over the equator again.
In truth, however, the Sun isn't doing the moving; the Earth, moving along in its orbit, is tilted by 23.5 degrees. But from the perspective of us here on the Earth, we sometimes talk as if it was the Sun moving up and down.
