Where does the sun shine directly overhead on September 22?
the equator
Why is it always hot in equatorial regions?
It has to do with the Earth being round and how the Sun shines on it. The tropics are mostly close to the roundest part of the Earth or EQUATOR. Most places near the equator are hot because the rays of the sun fully shine on them most of the year(except at night of course). This causes these places to be hotter than those that the Sun`s rays do not shine directly at.
Why the polar zone is more cold than tropical zone?
Because in the tropics is closer to the middle of the earth than the poles. Imagine you held a torch at a globe, the top and the bottom would get the least light, and the middle would get the most. I'm not saying the equator is the hottest part of the Earth all the time and that is because of the Earth's tilt. If the earth was not at a tilt, the equator would be the hottest part of the Earth. In the poles, they get less sunlight than in the tropics. I don't mean that the poles have longer nights and shorter days than the tropics, but the rays of the sun shine much more strongly in the tropics, and the rays create lots of heat. Without the sun, our world would be cold, dark and lifeless. Rays that shine strongly create lots of heat. Imagine your weather is a Sub-tropical climate like the Meditteranean or even a Tropical Climate like the Caribbean, the rays in your part of the Earth will shine more strongly than where I live in Britain so the part that you live in will get more heat than the part of the world that I live in because it's closer to the middle of the Earth, but if you live close to the Arctic Circle or even in the Arctic Circle or if you live in Antarctica, the sun will shine less strongly than where I live because I'm closer to the equator than you are.

Where does the sun shine directly overhead on September twenty first?
It is called the Equinox. It is when both axis of the world are facing away from the sun. The sun's plane then is directly over the Equator. It happens twice a year, there is the September Equinox and the March Equinox.
Were do the rays of the sun shine most directly?
The rays of the Sun fall more directly on the equator because the Sun shines more on the center of the Earth.
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.
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.
Why the sun and rain sometimes come at the same time?
Generally speaking, rain comes from a cloud that is directly or almost directly above you. The sun, however, is not usually directly overhead. You can have a rain cloud overhead with a break in the clouds to the side where the sun can shine through. In some cases, the wind can blow rain away from the rain cloud and out under clear skies.
