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.
