Most of the rainforests in the world are along the equator. This is because it is so hot there, and all the water gets evaporated and condenses in that area, creating precipitation, and lots of it! This equals to the ground becoming very wet and the air hot. This type of climate is the perfect type for foliage which is why the rainforests are there, the rain is always constant, and the rainforest floor is forever marsh, wet, or flooded.
