It has to do with the Earth being round and how the Sun shines on it. The tropics are mostly close to the roundest part of the Earth or EQUATOR. Most places near the equator are hot because the rays of the sun fully shine on them most of the year(except at night of course). This causes these places to be hotter than those that the Sun`s rays do not shine directly at.
