No, most winds are not caused by earth's rotation. Most, if not all, winds are caused by the uneven heating of earth's surface. To even out the heating of earth's surface, high pressure areas spread into low pressure areas, causing what we know as wind.

Air from the higher pressure areas tries to fill low pressure areas; that air movement is the wind. Low pressure air rotates anti-clockwise, high pressure clockwise. The margin between two adjacent systems is where the wind is most strong, the difference in the pressures determines the wind strength.

How the warming of the earth by the sun causes monsoon winds?
The warming of the earth by the sun causes monsoon winds, it affects the area and cause the wind to be blown
What causes winds in the atmosphere?
Energy from the Sun causes wind.
Is it true the sun is important to wind?
The sun heats the Earth and this energy is transferred to the atmosphere. Warm air rises and cooler air sinks. This causes winds and many other weather effects SO yeas sun is important to wind creation.r
What causes day and night on earth earths revolution around the sun or earth's rotation on its axis?
Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night. Earth's revolution around the sun causes the seasons.
What do you call winds that change directions?
The uneven cooling and heating of the Earth by the Sun cause seasonal changes in wind direction. The heating and cooling causes temperature differences that then develop into wind currents.
Did wind originally come from the sun energy?
wind does originally come from the sun the sun heats the earth the heated earth causes wind
Would there be wind without the sun?
There wouldn't be wind without the sun because of how the sun heats the Earth unevenly.Uneven heating of Earth causes wind.Without sun, there's no uneven heating, and without uneven heating there's no wind. No, there is no wind because the sun heats the air which cause high and low pressure systems which results in wind.
How the warming of the earth by the sun causes monsoon winds?
The warming of the earth by the sun causes monsoon winds, it affects the area and cause the wind to be blown
What causes earth to have different weather zones?
water, wind and sun
What is the Difference between solar wind and earth wind?
the differenc between solor wind and earth wind is that earth wind comes from the earth its self, and solor wind comes the sun which causes the planets to space out from each other.
What would happen to the wind if the sun stopped shining?
Well, two causes of wind is the uneven heating of Earth's surfaces and the sun's energy. So if the sun stopped shining, then i guess there are only three causes of wind left....??? -.-"
What does the sun's heat do to planet earth?
The sun heats the earth with radiation. This heat is necessary for earth to sustain life. Also, uneven heating of the earth's surface causes wind.
How is the sun related to the wind?
Simply the sun causes heating of air on Earth, when air is heated it moves upward, this is called convection, the movement of air creates wind.
What causes winds in the atmosphere?
Energy from the Sun causes wind.
What is the causes of the wind system on earth?
The heat from the Sun falling on the earth, heating the tropics more than the poles and the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
What causes tides but not waves and currents?
The gravity of the Sun and the Moon causes tides. Waves are caused by the wind. Currents have a variety of causes, but differential heating of different parts of the Earth by the Sun, modified by the coriolis effect of the turning Earth is the main one.
Does the sun causes the wind?
no
