It's called "night". If you mean, what does the clock say, that varies between different locations, and depending on the time of year. But on average, it is something like between 6 p.m., and 6 a.m.

The phrase "high noon" came about because, using a clock based on the Sun, the Sun is highest in the sky at noon. In navigation, sailors use the "local apparent noon" observation of the Sun to fix their position quite accurately with a single observation.
Since the railroads came along and established uniform "time zones", this hasn't been entirely correct. So during the winter, the Sun might be at its highest elevation anytime between 11:30 AM and 12:30 PM according to your watch. In the summer, with daylight savings time, it could be somewhere between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM.
We used to call this "Noon", until the railroads divided the country up into time zones so that all of the stationmasters could have their watches say the same thing no matter where they were. Now "Noon" is a reading on your watch, which has little to do with the actual position of the Sun in the sky.
Sailors use the term "Local Apparent Noon" to refer to the time when the Sun is as high as it gets in the sky.
For anyone in the northern Hemisphere, the sun is lowest in the sky on December 21.
For anyone in the Southern Hemisphere, the sun is lowest in the sky on June 21.
For anyone on the Equator, the sun is lowest in the sky on both of those occasions.
(Of course, we're talking about its altitude at Noon, not at sunrise and sunset.)
12:00 pm It depends on how you are measuring time. Time zones are a little over 1000 miles wide at the equator. So when it turns 12 noon at the equator, the sun clearly cannot be at its highest elevation for every spot along a stretch of 1000 miles at the same instant. However, by definition, the sun is at its highest (it transits the meridian) each day at solar noon. Solar time is strictly local and is independent of the time zones. The interesting thing is that solar noon will not be at precisely the same Universal Time every day for a given location. Solar time and Universal Time don't overlap perfectly. Their relationship is explained in something called the Equation of Time. Another interesting phenomenon resulting from the offset between solar time and Universal Time is called the analemma.

For those living in the Northern Hemisphere the sun's direct rays would be falling on the Tropic of Capricorn when the sun is at the lowest point in your sky. For those in the Southern Hemisphere it would be on the Tropic of Cancer.
Summer Solstice in the northern Hemisphere.
The answer is winter. The season thats the sun highest in the sky is SUMMER
The shores of the Dead sea are the lowest dry point on earth at 420m below sea level.
the lowest point in lebanon are the mountains
yes, the Dead sea is the saltiest and deepest in elevation for a sea
The sun's most direct rays strike the earth at a 90 degree angle. The most northern latitude at which this occurs (at summer solstice) is the tropic of cancer. The southernmost latitude to receive the sun's vertical light is known as the tropic of capricorn. Midway between these two latitudes is the equator. Can't see "the following"
The lowest point on Earth's crust is at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, where the Pacific Plate is subducting under the Mariana microplate. It has a maximum depth of slightly over 36,000 feet below sea level.
the lowest point on earth is the dead sea and is located in aisa
the lowest point on earth is the dead sea and is located in aisa
Highest point on earth is Mount Everest and the lowest point on earth is the Marinian Trench... I think its spelled that way
The lowest point on earth is the Dead Sea which borders Israel and Jordan.
No the dead sea is. But Jericho is the lowest city on earth.

The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth.,

The lowest point on earth is the Dead Sea, located in Israel and Jordan. It is about 430 meters (1,412 feet) below sea level, making it the Earth's lowest elevation on land.
