Yes, I am sure. The rays of sunlight that hit the Earth directly at a 90-degree angle (perpendicular to the surface) are referred to as direct rays. These direct rays provide the most concentrated solar energy and occur when the sun is directly overhead, as is the case at the equator during equinoxes.
