Well, isn't that a lovely thought! If Polaris is directly overhead, that means you are standing precisely at the North Pole on our beautiful planet Earth. How delightful it would be to look up and see the North Star shining down right above you in the vast night sky. Just picture it and let that feeling of wonder fill your heart.

Why is the sun's light brighter when it falls vertically rather than obliquely?

The sunlight appears brighter when the sun is directly overhead (falling vertically) because the light has a shorter distance to travel through the atmosphere, reducing scattering and absorption of light particles. When the sunlight is more oblique, it must pass through a greater thickness of the Earth's atmosphere which scatters more light, making it appear less bright.


Where does the center of gravity of the atmosphere of the earth lies?

Why does the sun appear almost directly overhead throughout the month of June when viewed from Hong Kong China?

I would guess that Hong Kong is closer to the equator, compared to some other place where you lived, and with which you are comparing it. Of course that question must mean "overhead around noon". Hong Kong is more or less on the Tropic of Cancer. The Sun can appear overhead as far north as the Tropic of Cancer around the summer solstice (about June 21st).
