The sun is directly overhead the Tropic of Cancer on the June Solstice, which can either fall on June 20 or 21 each year.
The sun is directly overhead at the summer solstice at the Tropic of Cancer (23.5oN). This is as the most northernly latitude which has the sun directly overhead at any time of the year. A similar case happen at the winter solstice at the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5oS).
Location of the sun directly overhead is 13.90 degrees north latitude or 13.54 degrees north latitude in nautical miles at 12 pm UTC/GMT April 27 2012

I think that the sun is only ever directly overhead the equator at noon on any day of the year.
The idea that the Tropic of Cancer does not see the sun overhead twice a year has to do with the degree of the earthâ??s tilt in relation to the position of the sun. This is known as the ecliptic and occurs as the sun moves in the opposite direction of the Tropic of Cancer.
90 degrees north latitude is different from 90 degrees south latitude is that 90 north is at the north pole 90 south is at the south pole
The Tropic of Cancer ... roughly 23.5 degrees north ... is the most northerly latitude where the sun can ever appear directly overhead.
Between 23.5° south latitude and 23.5° north latitude.

The northernmost latitude at which the sun can be directly overhead is around 23.44° north. That latitude is called the Tropic of Cancer, and the sun is directly over it at the moment of the June equinox.The southernmost latitude at which the sun can be directly overhead is around 23.44° south. That latitude is called the Tropic of Capricorn, and the sun is directly over it at the moment of the December equinox.
No. The only American State where the Sun is ever directly overhead is Hawaii.
