Because it rains almost every single day! Late most afternoons, the sky goes black and there’s a heavy thunderstorm. Rainforests grow along the equator where it’s hot and sticky all year round. It’s the perfect weather for plants to grow.
Where do the biggest forests grow?
The biggest forests in the world stretch for thousands of kilometres across the north of Europe and Asia. The trees that grow here are conifers. They’re trees with needle-like leaves and cones.

How do rainforests grow?
Rainforests grow in lagers depending on the height of the trees. The tallest trees poke out above the forest. Below them is a thick roof of tree-tops called the canopy. Next comes a layer of shorter trees, herbs and shrubs.
