How does Miami latitude affect its climate?

"Latitude" is a purely human invention, and has only been around for a few hundred years.

Long before latitude was invented and Miami's had been measured, the climate there was exactly the same as it is now.


What line of latitude always receives direct sunlight and would be the hottest place on earth if only latitude were considered when determining climate?

There's no place on Earth that always receives direct sunlight. The closest to it would be the Equator, where the sun goes from overhead to 23 degrees one way to overhead to 23 degrees the other way and back to overhead, in the course of a year. And you're right ... if latitude were the only component of climate, then the hottest would be all along the equator.
