The sun's position at 12pm (local solar time) is directly overhead only for locations on the equator and only on the equinoxes (March 20th and September 23rd).

For other locations and times of the year, the sun's position at 12pm will vary:

* Northern Hemisphere: The sun will be south of directly overhead, with the angle increasing the further you are from the equator.

* Southern Hemisphere: The sun will be north of directly overhead, with the angle increasing the further you are from the equator.

* Other times of year: The sun's position at 12pm will change throughout the year, reaching its highest point in the sky during the summer solstice and its lowest point during the winter solstice.

To determine the exact sun position at 12pm for a specific location and date, you can use online sun calculators or astronomical software.
