Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Earth’s axis is tilted 23.5° to the perpendicular, meaning that the amount of sunlight that a particular latitude receives changes with the seasons"

This means that as the Earth spins around the Sun throughout the year, different areas receive different amounts of sunlight at different times, hence our seasons. The rainy, tropical areas are nearest the equator, where they get the most sunlight.
