Humidity is highest along the equator, in the tropical climate zone.
Because of this, precipitation is highest along the equator as well
Why does humidity bring precipitation?
Water cycle - humidity means that there's water vapor in the air. Because the tropical zone gets a lot of sun, there's a lot of water vapor evaporating from the oceans into the air. As humid air rises and cools, the air becomes too thin to hold onto water vapor, and condenses into droplets that form clouds. Then, the water vapor is released as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
The more humidity is in the air, the more precipitation there is.
