The sun never reached the zenith in locations north of 23.5N or south of 23.5S (namely north of the Tropic of Cancer of south of the Tropic of Capricorn).
Antarctica would never have the sun directly overhead at any time during the year due to its location near the South Pole. The tilt of Earth's axis ensures that the sun never reaches directly overhead in this region.
To be directly overhead the moon must be at the correct latitude. For some locations this is simply not possible because the moon's orbit is nearly in the plane of the equator. For other locations, it is necessary to know the latitude of your location.
The sun is never directly overhead in Levittown, NY, as it lies above the Tropic of Cancer.
Antarctica is the continent where the sun never rises directly overhead due to its location near the South Pole. This results in extended periods of darkness during the winter months and 24-hour daylight during the summer months.
The number of days the sun is directly overhead in the continental US varies depending on the location. Generally, it occurs from one to several times a year at latitudes close to the Tropic of Cancer. In more northern states, like those in the lower 48, the sun is never directly overhead.

Never. The Sun can only be directly overhead (90 deg altitude) at latitudes between 23.5 deg N and 23.5 deg S. The Sun is directly overhead at a latitude of 23.5 deg N on the summer solstice. On that day it would be at its highest point in the sky for an observer at 27.947 deg N (about 85.553 deg above S horizon), but it would not be directly overhead.
It never is overhead at noon because Texas is not in the northernmost point where the sun passes directly overhead at noon.
Yes, the sun can be directly overhead in Colorado, especially in regions near the Tropic of Cancer during the summer solstice. However, the sun is never directly overhead in the entire state of Colorado due to its location outside of the tropics.
That would be true of latitudes in the range of roughly 23.5° to 29° both north and south.
Never (it's outside of the tropics).
No, the sun is never directly overhead at midday in Memphis, Tennessee, as it is located at a latitude of around 35 degrees north. The sun is only directly overhead at latitudes between the Tropic of Cancer (23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5 degrees south).
Antarctica is the continent where the sun never rises directly overhead due to its location near the South Pole. This results in extended periods of darkness during the winter months and 24-hour daylight during the summer months.
The sun is never directly overhead at latitudes higher than 23.5 degrees north or south, known as the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and the path of the sun in the sky throughout the year.
The sun can never be directly overhead anywhere in New York state ... or anywhere in the USA for that matter. The highest it can ever appear is at noon on June 21. But in order to ever see it directly overhead, you have to be located within 23.5 degrees of the equator.
