The Earth is tilted on its axis by 23.5˚. This means each part does not receive the same amount of sunlight because the sun will not always be shining in the same place. For example, take both equinoxes and both solstices. On both equinoxes the sun is positioned over the equator (0˚N/S) which means this is the time where sunlight is the same. However, on the solstices, the sun is positioned over 23.5˚ N/S. If it is the Summer Solstice, the sun is positioned over 23.5˚N, and 23.5˚ S if it is the Winter Solstice (Notice the degree of Earth's tilt and the latitude degrees on the solstices). That means if it is Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the sunlight is directed more in that area (which also explains why when it's summer in the north, it's winter in the south) and vice versa.
Not all places on Earth receive the same amount of direct sunlight because of the Earth's tilt on its axis. This tilt causes variations in the angle at which sunlight reaches different regions, leading to differences in day length and intensity of sunlight throughout the year. Additionally, factors such as atmospheric conditions, latitude, and topography further influence the distribution of sunlight across the planet.
During the summer in the Northern Hemisphere, areas near the Tropic of Cancer receive the most direct sunlight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This results in longer daylight hours and more intense sunlight in these regions.
Closer to the equator you are, the hotter it'll be.
Generally, 20 degrees north would have a warmer climate compared to 40 degrees south. This is because latitudes closer to the equator, such as 20 degrees north, receive more direct sunlight throughout the year, leading to higher temperatures. In contrast, latitudes further from the equator, such as 40 degrees south, receive less direct sunlight and tend to have cooler temperatures.
The tropics receive more direct sunlight throughout the year compared to other regions because they are positioned near the equator. This intense sunlight causes greater heating of the surface, leading to hotter temperatures in tropical areas.
North facing slopes in the northern hemisphere receive less direct sunlight compared to south facing slopes, causing them to be cooler. This difference in sunlight exposure leads to the north facing slopes retaining more moisture and heat, making them relatively warmer than other aspects.

because, the world is round
The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
equator
All continents receive direct sunlight for at least part of the year.
in august
They receive more direct sunlight than the other parts of the globe.
Sub tropical deserts receive the most intense sunlight.
Yes, the surface faces the Sun the nearer you get.
They do not receive direct sunlight
It's called "the Terminator".
Because they receive more direct sunlight
