Does the sun cause sea breezes?

Heating of the atmosphere, mainly by re-radiation from the
earth, causes the winds. So yes.
Additionally evaporation from the water surface embodies an
enormous amount of heat energy into the atmosphere due to the
latent heat of evaporation, and when this is cools it can release
this energy as cyclones and hurricanes.

Where are hurricanes least likely to happen?

Hurricanes, Cyclones and Typhoons (they are all the same thing)
dissiape enormous amounts of energy. On Earth this energy comes
from the Sun and the Sun;s energy stored in Sun warmed waters in
the the Tropics. Therefore Hurricanes are a feature of tropical
oceanic regiones.
Thus the poles and the centre of continents are areas where
hurricanes are least likely to happen.

tend to be seasonal. They usually have peak times during particular
months of the year, depending on where you live. And
