The Tropics
The region of the Earth surrounding the equator is known as "The Tropics".
The equator is a region on Earth's surface that does not experience distinct seasons. This is because the equator receives relatively consistent sunlight throughout the year due to its position along the Earth's axis.
Earth is an oblate spheroid due to its rotation causing a centrifugal force that pushes material outward at the equator. This bulging at the equator is a result of the Earth's rotation, the centrifugal force causes the equatorial region to push outward, counteracting gravity and giving the Earth a slightly flattened shape.
Biosphere
The region surrounding Earth that is influenced by Earth's magnetic field is called the magnetosphere. This region helps protect Earth from harmful solar radiation and charged particles from the sun by deflecting them away from the planet. The magnetosphere extends into space and interacts with solar winds to create phenomena like the auroras.
The region near the equator that receives the most solar energy is known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). This area experiences direct overhead sunlight throughout the year due to the Earth's tilt and typically receives high levels of solar radiation, making it one of the warmest and most humid regions on Earth.
A region of the Earth surrounding the Equator.
around the equator
At the equator the air rises and carries moisture into the atmosphere which brings rains to the surrounding region. Rain forests are usually found in the area of the equator and not deserts.

between the equator and one of the earth's poles
The equator gets the most radiant sunlight on Earth.
That's called the 'biosphere'.

The tropical zone is the part of the earths surface between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. It is the region surrounding the equator..
