My home planet? It's tidally locked to its sun, so it's always day on the side of the planet people live on. The far side of the planet is a dark and frozen tundra, so no one lives there. Reptilians on the planet live in basically this habitable ring on the side that's always day. It's hotter than most of Earth, but not too hot, and there's a lot of rain. If you get closer to the area right under the sun you get desert. It actually rains a lot there, too, but it's so hot there that the rain never hits the ground, so no one lives there either. Then, right under the sun, there's a hurricane.
