Because brakes create friction, and heat is a byproduct of friction.
The brake discs or drums get hot when you apply the brakes and then the heat transfers out to the rims
because they are constantly being used
You went thru a deep puddle with hot brakes. The disc gets doused in cold water and warps.
Friction causes the heat.
You are decelerating, and as you do so you are transfering quite a bit of energy to the brakes. That is why brakes can get very hot. The kinetic energy of the moving car is converted to friction on the brake pads.
There are front brakes and rear brakes. There are a total of four brakes on a car. Every wheel on the car has its own brake and every car has the same number of brakes.
make sure it's not the rear brakes hanging up, see if they feel hot, if you have drum brakes on the back a wheel cylinder could be hanging up.

If the brakes are out then you have no business putting it in any gear because it is unsafe to drive a car with no brakes.
its bcoz of the friction between the wheel drums and brake liners - Rajkumar Magdum.
i have a 93 nissan and the front brakes are getting hot when driving
