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.

What Location on earth relative to equator helps determine the amount of sunlight on area receives?
The two factors affecting sunlight intensity are latitude and time of year
Why is latitude a major influence on the climate of a region?
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.
