Rainforests grow near the equator because Earth is round and the sun ray's are more intense at the equatorial region. Additionally the Sun is almost directly overhead at the Equator, which causes the temperature in the tropics to range from 20 degree Celsius to 30 degree Celsius. Also this would mean that the places at or near the Equator would receive more or less the same amount of sunlight. The equatorial regions also have high rainfall from water vapour evaporated from the heat from the Equator that evaporates water.

High rainfall and strong sunlight allow the rainforests to thrive and survive in equatorial regions.
