Answer:

The sun is overhead at high noon.

Explanation:

  • The sun is directly overhead at noon because Earth’s rotation axis is tilted 23.5 degrees.
  • The position of sun at overhead means the rays of the sun touch the planet exactly perpendicular to its surface.
  • This happens only between the Cancer and Capricon.
  • When the sun is at the overhead, we have approximately equal hours of day and night.
  • This is because the bending of sunlight (refraction) results in the appearance of sun above the horizon wherein actually the position of sun is below the horizon.
