The plane upon which the Earth travels round the Sun is called the ecliptic.

It is only when two bodies are on this plane, and in line with the Sun, that an eclipse is observed. Hence the name ecliptic.

The Earth's spin axis is always oriented about 23.4 degrees from the ecliptic plane.

The Earth's spin axis is never perpendicular to the Sun's rays.

You may be referring to the Sun being directly overhead at the Equator twice per year.

The sides of a ladder are parallel Since the rungs are perpendicular to one side of the ladder what conclusion can be made?

If the rungs are perpendicular to one side of the ladder, then they must be parallel to the other side of the ladder. This is because if one side is perpendicular to the rungs, the other side, being parallel to the first side, will also be perpendicular to the rungs.
