The sun is most directly overhead near the equator, around the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. This occurs during the two equinoxes in March and September.
Mark the days when the sun appears directly overhead at the Equator?
The Sun, in its seasonal apparent movement across the sky, passes directly over the Equator twice each year, at the March and September equinoxes. At the Equator, the rays of the sun are perpendicular to the surface of the earth on these dates.Places on the Equator experience the quickest rates of sunrise and sunset in the world. They are also the only places in the world where the sun can go directly from the zenithto the nadir and from the nadir to the zenith. Such places also have a theoretical constant 12 hours of day and night throughout the year, though in practice there are variations of a few minutes due to the effects of atmospheric refraction and because sunrise and sunset are measured from the time that the edge of the Sun's disk is on the horizon, rather than the center of the disk.
The vertical ray of the sun strikes the earth where?
The vertical ray of the sun strikes the Earth directly at the equator. This phenomenon occurs during the equinoxes when the sun is directly above the equator, causing equal day and night lengths at all locations on Earth.
The sun is directly overhead at noon at the equator two times each year what is the term for these events?
The term for when the sun is directly overhead at noon at the equator is called the equinoxes. This occurs around March 21st and September 23rd each year.

On the first day of Northern Hemisphere Summer, the sun is directly overhead at some point on the Tropic of Cancer ... the line around the Earth that's about 23.5° north of the equator. At every other latitude between the equator and the Tropic of Cancer ... all in the northern hemisphere ... the sun is directly overhead twice, on two different days between March 21 and September 21, with June 21 exactly between them. How far the two days are on either side of June 21 depends on the latitude. Right ON the equator, they're March 21 and September 21.
