If your question is 'Where is there most daylight time?' then the Earth's rotation means that nowhere receives significantly more than anywhere else, regardless of latitude.
However, if your question is 'Which part of the Earth receives most energy from the sun?' then the latitude becomes the most significant factor. Energy from the sun is most dense in the region between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, i.e. between 23.5 degrees north and south of the equator.
The latitude of highest energy density will vary throughout the year, being at it's most northerly in June, at the equator in March and September, and most southerly in December.

Which part of the earth receive less heat why?
The farther from the equator, the weaker the sunlight gets.
How does uneven heating on earth occur?
It is due to different angle sunlight shine on different part of earth. The Heat gain to earth is from the Sun and loss to space. Sunlight reach earth at different angle and it is peak at the equator. On North and South pole, the sunlight reach surface at very narrow angle and the sunlight per surface area is a lot lesser that on the equator. While heat gain is uneven but heat loss is even that is colder climate at north and south and hotter climate at equator. In addition, earth rotate around the axis that is slightly tilt. It yield summer on northern hemisphere when it tilt down toward sun (sunlight reach at right angle) and winter when it tilt away from sun (sunlight reach at steep angle). Important to note: hotter and colder climate is not about the distance of the sun but angle that sunlight shine on earth.
How long is a day on the moon in terms of earth days?
A day on the Moon is 28 days because the Moon keeps one half turned towards the Earth. You can see which part of the Moon has sunlight by looking at it, the bright part is the place where it's day.
What part of the leaf takes in sunlight?
the bumhole part
Why are earth's polar regions never very warm?
Earth's polar regions are the areas of the globe surrounding the poles also known..part of what little sunlight the Polar regions receive, contributing to the cold.
What is one area on earth that best relates to radiation convection and conduction?
Earth's equatorial part relates with maximum radiation convection and conduction as it recives maximum sunlight and hence maximum heat resulting into
Where is northern and southern part of the earth get the least direct sunlight?
in antartica & brazil
How does the sun heat parts of the earth that do not receive much direct sunlight?
Because the rays of the sun is so hot it will heat any part of the earth witout being hit my direct sunlight
Did sunlight hit all part of all earth evenly?
Of course sunlight doesn't hit the earth's surface evenly! Countries on the equator or near it receive the most direct sunlight. And of course countries in the artic circle have hardly any! [^-^]
What continents never have direct sunlight shining on them?
All continents receive direct sunlight for at least part of the year.
Why can it be summer on one part of the planet and winter on another?
the earth is tilted and some parts of it get direct sunlight and other parts dont.
What you see of the moon depends on how much of the sunlit side of the moon faces the earth?
Yes, exactly. The part of the Moon we see bright is the part that is exposed to direct sunlight.
What part of the neuron recives impulses?
Dendrite
What part of the Earth system absorbs the most energy?
The area around the Equator receives the most direct sunlight, thus absorbs the most heat.
What part of earth's system absorbs the most energy?
The area around the Equator receives the most direct sunlight, thus absorbs the most heat.
What is the definition of direct rays?
A direct rays is when the Sun's light hits the specified part of Earth that you are observing at an exact angle of 900 . This means that the Sun's rays are perpendicular to the Earth; Direct rays compared to indirect rays are one of the factors for the occurrence of seasons on Earth.
Why would there be no seasons if the earth wasnt tilted on its axis?
A season is the result of how direct sunlight is received over a part of the earth. Because of the earth's axial tilt (it does not spin perpendicularly to its orbit around the sun), the hemisphere receiving the most direct sunlight alternates between the northern and southern hemispheres. If the earth had zero axial tilt, the directness of sunlight would not vary throughout the year aside from orbital perihelion/aphelion (which has a much smaller effect than the axial tilt).
