The sun rays are on the Tropic of Capricorn on December 21 and it leads to winter in the northern hemisphere and summers in the southern hemisphere,because on December 21 there is 24 hours of daylight on the south pole, south to the antarctic circle and 24 hours of darkness on the north pole, north to the arctic circle.
The sun's rays strike latitude 23.5 degrees south, also known as the Tropic of Capricorn, at an angle of 90 degrees during the December solstice, which occurs around December 21st each year. This is when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, resulting in the sun being directly overhead at this latitude.

The sun's rays strike the Earth at the southernmost position during the December solstice (around December 21st) and at the northernmost position during the June solstice (around June 21st). These are the days when the respective hemispheres experience their longest and shortest days of the year.
The Sun's rays strike least directly at the poles.

Directly is near the equator. Least directly is at the poles.
The sun's rays strike Earth most directly at the equator, where sunlight is more concentrated due to the curvature of the Earth and the angle of incidence. The sun's rays strike Earth least directly at the poles, where sunlight is spread out over a larger surface area and travels through a thicker layer of atmosphere, resulting in lower intensity.
The rays of the sun strike the Earth most directly at the equator, where sunlight is nearly perpendicular to the surface. This results in more concentrated heat and higher temperatures in these regions.

When the Earth is in position M, which typically corresponds to the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (around June 21), the latitude that receives the vertical rays of the sun is 23.5° N, known as the Tropic of Cancer. Conversely, during the winter solstice (around December 21), the vertical rays hit 23.5° S, or the Tropic of Capricorn. During equinoxes, the sun's rays are directly overhead at the equator (0° latitude).

On March 29, the tangent rays in the Northern Hemisphere typically reach the latitude of the equator (0° latitude). Since the equinox occurs around March 20, during this period, the Sun is directly overhead at the equator, meaning that the rays are tangent to the surface at this latitude. As you move north of the equator, the Sun's angle increases, but the tangent rays still primarily correspond to the equatorial latitude around this time.
The equator is the line of latitude that receives the sun's direct rays during the equinoxes. This is because the Earth's axis is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun during the equinoxes, causing the sun's rays to strike the equator perpendicularly.
