Why Do Some Places Have Constant Rain?

Some places get constant rain because they are near big, warm oceans that keep the air wet and moving. Imagine you're standing next to a huge, never-ending water fountain, it's always spraying water into the sky, which then falls back down as rain. That’s kind of what happens in places like Indonesia or parts of Brazil.
