How many degrees of latitude does the suns most direct ray this means the sun is directly overhead travel per day?

Between June 21 and December 21, it moves from 23.5 north to 23.5 south ... 47 degrees of latitude. Then during the other 6 months, it covers the 47 degrees to return back north. But the rate at which it covers this range is not constant. The speed is "sinusoidal" ... slowest at the ends, and fastest in the middle.


When do the suns rays strike latitude 23.5 at an angle of 90 degrees?

Actually at 23.5 degrees it is never overhead because the Earth's axial tilt is only 23.44 degrees. However, for the purposes of this answer let us round up to 23.5 degrees. The Tropic of Cancer is located at 23.5° North of the equator. The Tropic of Capricorn lies at 23.5° South of the equator. There is one day each year when the Sun is overhead (90 degrees) at these latitudes. In the North this is at the Summer Solstice in June (around the 21st) each year and in the South it is at the Winter Solstice in December (around the 21st) each year.
