The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
Latitude has a major influence on the climate of a region because the higher the latitude is, the closer to the poles you are getting and less sunlight gets to the poles compared to the equator which always has direct sunlight due to the location of the sun. Because the equator receives more sunlight, the climate is warmer. Because the poles receive less sunlight, the climate is colder.
Places the are always warm are the ones near or on the equator due to the fact that this region gets the most direct sunlight.
Equator has a lower angular deflection of sunlight and therefore warmer temperatures
The equator receives direct rays from sun. It is present in front of sun.
The equator receives much more direct radiation, meaning it has less of the atmosphere to travel through before reaching the surface. Even though the sun can shine for 24 hours in the summer at the poles, it barely rises above the horizon. This means very little radiation actually makes it to the surface at the poles.

The Atacama desert is on the equator and is above most clouds rain forests and jungles receive little sunlight mountains have few clouds moisture and pollution obscure sunlight

The region on earth that receives the most solar energy is the equator. This is because the equator is the closest to the sun.
The equator gets the most radiant sunlight on Earth.
The Atacama desert
The equator receives direct rays from sun. It is present in front of sun.
All regions near the equator receive about the same amount of solar energy but the Atacama desert gets the most.
All regions near the equator receive about the same amount of solar energy but the Atacama desert gets the most.
Sunlight at the equator falls almost perpendicular to the surface of the Earth. This means it's the most concentrated, hottest, brightest, and with the highest amount of UV. Peoples who have lived near the equator for very long are invariably dark-skinned as protection from the Sun's rays.
