If the Sun is overhead, it is "noon".
There are complications due to exactly how we define noon and time zones, but that's probably a good enough answer.
If you want to be more exact it is noon according to the "local apparent solar time".
The sun can only ever be overhead if you live within about 23.4 degrees of the equator (namely between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn).
Even there, the sun will only be overhead on one or two days of the year at any location.

How long does the sun need to rise?
425000meters long
What is the lowest possible angle above the horizon that the sun can appear at solar noon at latitude 6 degrees 34 minutes north?
-- The sun's maximum southward excursion, at the December solstice,is about 23.5° south of the equator.-- At that time, it is (23.5° + 6°34') = 30°04' south of you.-- So at solar noon, the sun is 30° 04' below your zenith, or 59° 56' aboveyour southern horizon.
When is the altitude of the sun highest?
The simple answer is that the Sun is at its highest at noon, 12 o'clock midday. A definition of "noon" is when the Sun is highest in the sky. There are complications because of the Earth's elliptical orbit and tilted axis. So, the exact time when the Sun reaches its highest point varies a bit during the year. Obviously, time zones and "daylight saving" have effects too.
In noon near the equator the Sun is?
In noon near the equator, the sun is high in the sky.
What is altitude of sun below the horizon at noon on equinoxes and solstices?
The eastern horizon. Note: The sun does not rise due east, and the specific location changes throughout the year. The furthest south (on the eastern horizon) the sun rises is at the winter solstice (in the northern hemisphere), and vice versa.
Are subzero temperatures at noon still possible when the sun is 36 degrees above the horizon?
yes
Is sunrise in the the morning or in the night?
Sunrise is when the sun appears to rise up from below the horizon (in the morning).
Is the sun rising from the time of sunrise to noon?
Yes, the sun rises in the east in the morning and moves across the sky until it reaches its highest point at noon. After reaching noon, it starts to descend towards the western horizon.
What is the altitude of the sun above the southern horizon at noon on March 21 in Las Vegas NV?
3
Why sun is seems to be bigger morning and evening than noon?
It's because your brain compares the size of the sun to landmarks on the horizon. If you take a nickel and compare it at sunrise and noon, it should show that the sun is the same size.
What angle above the horizon should the sun be on the first day of spring?
At noon on the equinox (both spring and autumn) the Sun "rises" to 90° minus your latitude.
What is the maximum possible elevation of the sun above the horizon at the equator?
90 degrees100 gradspi/2 radians
From latitude 35 what is the highest altitude above the noon sun?
For an observer at latitude 35 degrees, the highest the sun can ever be in his sky is roughly 31.5 degrees above the horizon.
How long does the sun need to rise?
425000meters long
What is the lowest possible angle above the horizon that the sun can appear at solar noon at latitude 6 degrees 34 minutes north?
-- The sun's maximum southward excursion, at the December solstice,is about 23.5° south of the equator.-- At that time, it is (23.5° + 6°34') = 30°04' south of you.-- So at solar noon, the sun is 30° 04' below your zenith, or 59° 56' aboveyour southern horizon.
On which horizon does the sun set?
The western horizon.
What happens to the sun from noon to sunset?
The sun doesn't move; earth does. The Earth slowly rotates until the side the sun was facing is now away from the sun. Example: If the sun is shining on Florida at noon-sunset, the earth rotates slowly in that time until Florida is facing away from the sun and so it is night in Florida and day on the other side of the earth.
