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.

What location on earth most often receives rays from the sun at a direct overhead angle?
The location on Earth that most often receives rays from the sun at a direct overhead angle is the Equator. This region experiences direct sunlight at noon during the equinoxes, around March 21 and September 23, when the sun is positioned directly above the equator. Additionally, areas within the Tropics—specifically between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn—can also experience the sun directly overhead at different times of the year.
When is the sun vertically overhead of the Equator?
The sun is vertically overhead at the Equator during the equinoxes, which occur around March 20-21 and September 22-23 each year. During these times, the sun's rays are directly perpendicular to the Equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths across the globe.
Where are the sun stays over head or nearly overhead all year long?
The SUN is almost directly overhead the equator all year.
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.
