Answer:
The latitude at which the sun's rays strike the Earth perfectly perpendicular to its surface is known as the subsolar point. It's the location where the sun shines straight overhead at midday. During the June solstice, the sun's vertical rays strike the Tropic of Cancer, 23.5° north of the Equator.
