Are all dinosaurs reptiles?
All reptiles are diapsids. Mammals (like you and I) are, in contrast, synapsids. So in that respect all reptiles are alike. However, I would not say they were all alike. Snakes are reptiles but lack limbs. Alligators are also reptiles, as are lizards. Tuatara, gavials, amphisbaenids, and tortoises each represent one of the four main modern orders of reptiles. They share some characteristics--just as you and I do, but I would not say they were all alike.
How reptiles in desert and the rainforest alike?
both the climates of a tropical rainforest and a desert are, well, hot! They can both be humid, and are very deadly if you don't have any water. They are both found near the equator, which means the sun is out a lot longer. The only difference between the two is that the rainforest rains more, so more plants can grow than in a desert.
