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!
that's actually the equator
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.
The Equator receives direct sunlight year-round, causing more intense heating compared to other regions on Earth. This concentrated heat results in higher average temperatures and makes the Equator the warmest part of the planet.
No, Hawaii is not the wettest place on earth. The wettest place on earth is Mawsynram in India, which receives the highest average annual rainfall.
The changes in the amount of sunlight a place receives due to the sun's tilt is called seasonal variation. This variation results in different seasons such as summer, winter, spring, and fall. The angle of the sun's rays changes throughout the year, leading to variations in daylight hours and intensity of sunlight.
A place located near the equator would have a warmer climate compared to a place near the North Pole. The equator receives more direct sunlight year-round, resulting in higher temperatures, while the North Pole receives less sunlight and is typically covered in ice.
Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts. The chloroplasts contains the pigment called chlorophyll where it receives sunlight.

No, Mount McKinley (also known as Denali) is not the wettest place on earth. The wettest place on earth is generally considered to be Mawsynram in India, which receives the highest average annual rainfall.
The angle of isolation, or the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface, affects the intensity of the sunlight. A higher angle of isolation, such as during midday when the sun is directly overhead, results in more concentrated sunlight and more heating of the Earth's surface. Conversely, a lower angle of isolation, like in the early morning or late evening, leads to less intense sunlight and less heating.
