The tropical zone, places near the equator between the tropic of Cancer and Capricorn, receives the most concentrated sunlight as the Sun is shining directly overhead of the area, unlike at the poles, where the Sun is shining at an extreme angle it may even seem as if the Sun did not rise at all in the day!
Every place on the earth receives the same amount of sunlight each year. Every city gets the same amount of sunlight whether or not it is nearer to the Equator or the North Pole, which is six months of daylight and six months of nighttime.
Since earth has an axial tilt, there can't be any place on the earth that has eternal sunlight.
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.
that's actually the equator
Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts. The chloroplasts contains the pigment called chlorophyll where it receives sunlight.

When the Moon comes between Earth and the Sun, blocking the sunlight.

It move from the more concentrated place to the less concentrated place.
The equator receives sunlight all year round. The sunlight is direct. ____ All of the earth's surface outside of the arctic regions receives direct sunlight all year long. It is only north of the arctic circle and south of the antarctic circle that you have periods of night time extending for long periods of winter. There is no place on earth where the sun reaches the zenith every day of the year; not even the equator. Most of the time, sunlight reaches earth at an angle, but this does not mean that the sunlight is not 'direct'. Even at a location where the sun will reach zenith that day, the sun is at zenith only for a moment. For the entire balance of the day, the sunlight is direct, and at an angle. For that matter, even when the sun is at zenith the sunlight is at an angle: 90 degrees. In other words, the location of the sun when it transits the sky does not determine whether or not you are receiving direct sunlight.
The photic zone or euphotic zone is the depth of water in a lake or ocean that receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis to take place!
the position of the sun. If it is perpendicularly overhead then that place receives the most solar energy.
