If you are at the equator, the SUN will be directly overhead during the equinoxes - around 21 March, and 23 September.
Where would you see the sun directly overhead on Sept 21?
the equator
In September is the sun ever directly overhead at 90 degree angle at noon?
Sure. At the time the sun reaches the Autumnal Equinox, around September 22 or 23 each year, when the sun crosses the equator, then wherever on the equator it happens to be noon at that moment, the sun is directly overhead there. Also, don't forget about the 22 or 23 September days before that, when the sun is slightly north of the equator, plus the 7 or 8 September days after that, when the sun is slightly south of the equator. There are bunches of places within those latitudes that will have noon-sun overhead, once during the month.
Why does the sun comes vertically overhead at the equator?
because of the revolution of the earth.
What place do stars rise and set perpendicular to the horizon?
That happens on the equator, where a star on the equator rises vertically and passes overhead before setting vertically. That also happens with the Sun at the spring and autumn equinoxes.
In what months of the year is the sun vertically overhead at the equator?
The sun is vertically overhead at the equator in the months March 21st to September 23rd.All places on Earth, (except at the poles) receive 12 hours of daylight (day) and 12 hours of darkness (night). Days and nights which are 12 hours long are called equinoxes.Note: Day and Night are always 12 hours long at the Equator.
Is the sun directly overhead in the equator?

The closest answer to your question is the equator.
What are the low latitude areas near the equator between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of Capricorn?
They are called the "tropics", and during sometime in the year in these areas, the Sun will reach the zenith and shine vertically overhead.
