Answer
The Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere and Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere mark the limit of overhead sun. Beyond the Tropics, the Earth only receives slanting rays of the Sun because of the inclination of the Earth. Therefore the Sun is never overhead beyond the Tropics.
