In the Tropical Rain Forest it rains about 50 to 200 inches a year
The rainforest only gets about 1% of sunlight because there are no wholes between the tree tops of the trees.
The temp barely ever gets over 93 degrees or below 68 degrees
Most of the rain does not reach the ground cause of the tree tops.
Climate
Because the forest floor barely gets any sunlight, none of the bushes can survive so a human could walk very easily on it.
The Evens and mosses plants adapt to the little sunlight they have.
