Main Body
1AXIS of the earth is inclined at 23 1/2° N from the equator. Due to this, the solar rays fall directly on equator, making equator the warmest portion on earth and the poles, the coolest portion.
2ROTATION of earth cause day and night, which leads to different temperature.
3REVOLUTION of earth around the sun leads to sun's rays falling directly on Tropic of [Cancer] in the summers. Hence, deserts are found there.
In winters, sun's rays fall overhead on Tropic of Capricorn and hence, deserts are also found here.
