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.

Why do equatorial regions experience convectional rainfall?
As the Equatorial region is the hottest region, convectional rain occurs in this region.
How does temperature change always move from regions of hot to regions of cold?
The answer is B. Colder particles have more potential energy
Why is surface salinity of an ocean higher in the subtropics than in the equatorial regions?
Evaporation is more. Rainfall is less in comparison of equatorial region. In equatorial region, insulation is not much because of clouds.
Climate varies deserts rain forests monsoon regions and moderate regions?
The desert climate is also called the arid climate. Desert climates are mostly hot, but can be cold or moderate and little to no rainfall is experienced. Tropical forests are also called equatorial climates. It rains just about every day and it's hot and humid every day. The climate in the monsoon regions are marked by wet and dry seasons. Moderate regions have a temperate climate. These regions don't experience extreme hot and cold temperatures, but rather, the temperatures are moderate in most cases.
What does the equator have to do with the wet and dry seasons?
In the equatorial regions there is no dry season, so it has nothing to do with that.
More solar energy reaches the equatorial regios than the polar regions because the equatorial regions?
The Equatorial regions reach more sun rays
Why is the equatorial climate always hot and wet?
because of mist and dew
Hot air rising from the equatorial regions cools and descends to form?
A belt of dry hi pressure air
Why is it hot at the Equator all year?
it is hot at the equator since the rays of sun directly fall on the equatorial regions ,that is the sun's rays are parallel on the equator...
In what regions of the globe do warm waters originate?
Generally in equatorial regions
Describe the density and temperature characteristics of water in equatorial regions Compare these characteristics to water found in polar regions?
In equatorial regions the water is warm, therefor the temperature will be higher. The temperature of t he polar regions will be less than the equatorial region because the water density is less.
Why are equatorial areas so hot?
Equatorial areas are hotter than the rest of the earth surface because they get more exposure to direct sunlight, in contrast to polar regions where the sun does not shine for six months at a time.
What are the natural resources found in equatorial regions?
naz
Why are polar regions cooler than equatorial regions?
The polar regions get the least amount of warming rays from the Sun.
Why seasonal variations in temperature minimum in the equatorial regions?
There is no winter or a dry season.Due to the small differences in temperatures, the region has a hot and wet season throughout the year
What causes the equatorial climate in a rainforest?
Ok I have added a bit more after talking to my dad but it still needs to be a page long and i still don't have enough: The rainforests have a equatorial climate because the rainforests are based around the equator and nowhere else in the world. The equatorial climate is always hot, because the earth spins on its axis but also tilts, and that is why we have seasons whereas in the tropical rainforests and countries near the equator are always hot. This being the equatorial climate. I need more!!! Help?
Why do equatorial regions experience convectional rainfall?
As the Equatorial region is the hottest region, convectional rain occurs in this region.
