March 21 is the Vernal Equinox. (suns rays hit the equator at 90 degrees, as it moves North)

YouTube can give a great visual to learn the concept

What is the point directly under the sun at any point of time called?

It is the sub-solar point. It is the point where the Sun is directly overhead. The sub-solar point has a latitude equal to the Sun's declination at any moment, so all points on Earth between latitudes of ±23½ degrees can be the sub-solar point. If you want to know the direction to the sub-solar point at any instant from where you are, just point at the Sun and then move your arm vertically downwards so that it points horizontally. If you want to know the distance to the sub-solar point, measure the Sun's angle relative to overhead where you are. The distance (in nautical miles) is 60 times that angle in degrees.


Does the sub-solar point always hit the equator?

The "sub-solar point" is the point on Earth where the Sun is straight up, at a 90 degree angle to the ground. This point moves around the Earth each day as the Earth rotates, and appears to move north and south over the course of the year. The sub-solar point is exactly on the equator at the moment of the two equinoxes. In March, the sub-solar point is moving north as it crosses the equator; in September, the sub-solar point is moving south across the equator. In June, the sub-solar point creeps up to the Tropic of Cancer and then heads south again. In December, the sub-solar point gets all the way south to the Tropic of Capricorn at the winter solstice.


Where is the current sub-solar point?

The current sub-solar point is the point on Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead. Its location changes throughout the day due to Earth's rotation and the tilt of its axis. You can track the sub-solar point in real-time using online tools or apps.


What time of year does the sub-solar point reach the farthest south?

When the sun reaches either of the equinoxes,on March 21 and September 21 or 22.


Is June 21 sub solar point at 23.5 north?

yes


What is the latitude of the sub solar point on March 8 2016?

At 0000 UT (Greenwich) on March 8 2016, the sun's declination will be -4.7997°.24 hours later, at 2400 UT on March 8, the sun's declination will be -4.4088°.So the sun will move from 4.7997°S to 4.4088°S latitude during the 24 hoursof March 8, 2016 in the Greenwich time zone.With the software I'm getting these numbers from, it looks like the sun willcross the equator and end Winter/begin Spring in the northern hemisphereat 0521 UT on March 20.A few days before that, when it starts showing up on the newspaper's weather page,I guess I'll find out if this software is worth anything.


Is the subsolar point on a planet the point that is closest to the sun?

No. The "sub-solar" point is that point on the Earth where the Sun is STRAIGHT UP from there.

At which location is the angle of insolation greatest at solar noon?

At the "sub-point" of the Sun; when your latitude equals the Sun's declination. The Sun will be straight up at that location. It depends on the time of year of course. For example, on the Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn this happens at the summer solstice there. At the equator it happens twice a year, at the equinoxes.
