The equinoxes (vernal, or spring, and autumnal, or fall) are when the Sun appears to travel directly overhead at the equator. Shortly thereafter, the intertropical convergence belt (ITCZ) will align most directly along the equator.

Is the total mass of the Kuiper belt greater than that of the asteroid belt?
Yes, the mass of the Kuiper belt exceeds that of the asteroid belt, and it is something like 20 to 200 times more massive. The Kuiper belt is a long way away, and the objects in it are mostly small, so it is through gravimetric studies that we "guestimate" the Kuiper belt's mass. A link can be found below for more information.

What are low pressure belts found at the equator?
The equator is an intensely heated throughout the year . Due to the intense heating the air in this region becomes warm and light and it rises above creating a partial vacuum .(As you know vacuum leads to decrease in air pressure) As a result a region of permanent low pressure is created called the equatorial low pressure belt.
What is the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone?
The intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is a region near the equator where winds from the northern and southern hemispheres come together. Consequences of the ITCZ's movement are the "monsoon seasons" that affect areas in the tropics, as well as the formation of tropical storms during the local hemispheric summer (north or south of the equator). Navigators in the age of sail learned to utilize the "trade winds" that blow to the east along the edge of the ITCZ.
