The sun is directly overhead between the Tropic of Cancer (June) and the Tropic of Capricorn (December) when it's rays are most intense. They are least intense at the South Pole (June) and North Pole (December).
The tropic of Cancer is 23° North of the Equator. It represents the point where the Sun can be directly overhead. If you are any further north, the Sun can not be overhead. The corresponding feature in the southern hemisphere is the Tropic of Capricorn. As to the Sun's direct rays, they can be anywhere from the South Pole to the North Pole. Those two points and everything in between receives the Sun's direct rays at some time during the year.
solar 'UV' means the suns ultraviolet rays that can damage our skin, and it is possible that it can give us cancer, but there is no correlation that has been found yet that the ultraviolet rays does cause the types of cancers.
The ozone layer is mostly affected the by the suns ultraviolet rays. This layer is present in the stratospheric region of atmosphere.
well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays

the furthest north the suns rays hit perpendicular to the earth
North of the Tropic of Cancer and south of the tropic of Capricorn so basically any latitude grater than 30 would never have the suns rays directly over your head
The tropic of Cancer is 23° North of the Equator. It represents the point where the Sun can be directly overhead. If you are any further north, the Sun can not be overhead. The corresponding feature in the southern hemisphere is the Tropic of Capricorn. As to the Sun's direct rays, they can be anywhere from the South Pole to the North Pole. Those two points and everything in between receives the Sun's direct rays at some time during the year.
The sun's rays strike the earth at 90 degrees (verticle) at their northernmost position during the summer solstice for northern hemisphere and at their southernmost position during the summer solstice for the southern hemisphere. These positions are known as the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere.
The sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn at the moment of the December solstice.At the Winter solstice. It will next happen on 21 December 2014 (answer dated 21 Nov 2014)..
the suns powerful rays can harm your eyes or give you skin cancer

It does indeed reflect the suns rays.
