As the SUN heats the air, ground or water it causes many things. With the AIR it causes winds to move from HOT to cold. This is why if you are in the mountains it seems the wind is always blowing. The air is just raising on the side of the mountain. When the ground heats up, it causes an UPDRAFT which lowers the pressure so now you have a low pressure area. This takes moisture up which condenses when it comes into the cold of altitude. If the moisture does not go to high it will fall as rain when the area cools and the pressure rises. This is not GROUND area, it is and area of air so to speak. It moves all over the world. Cool air falls, warm air rises. If this moisture is raised very high it will freeze and you may get some hail. If it falls as fog, mist, you will have ice crystals, = Snow. As the sun heats up water the water will evaporate and raise and if it is cool you will have fog. These currents is what causes a light aircraft to bounce up and down. A more complicated answer for air rising. As the molecule's of all the gasses in air get hot, they speed up, swell up, and move away from each other. This causes empty space, which makes the AREA lighter, less mass, so it raises, goes UP. To visualize this, Make three '3' large circles, O , that touch each other on some paper, then make three '3' very small circles about the size of this PERIOD. Note the space that they take up. Rex

What does the sun's energy have to do with the weather?
The heat from the energy warms
How does the sun control your weather?
The sun provides the energy of Earth's weather by heating the surface. Differences in heating on the surface are largely responsible for the formation of weather patterns.
Is it true that the sun is the source of energy for all weather?
Yes
How is weather effected by the suns energy?
it is becase of the sun is too hot
Where does Solar Energy work best?
in hot weather where the sun comes out the most
How does radiant energy from the sun affect air currents and their influence on weather?
it makes the air warm :)
The ultimate source of energy for weather is the?
solar energy coming from sun
What does the sun's energy have to do with the weather?
The heat from the energy warms
What is the source of energy for our weather?
sun
What source provides the most energy for atmospheric weather changes?
Incoming radiant energy from the sun
What is a hypothesis of weather and climate?
the energy of the sun
Which is caused by the sun energy?
Life
What source of energy powers the phenomena that occur between Earth's weather and climate?
sun is the primary energy source that drives all weather events
Factors that influence heat production?
energy, sun
What drives the changes in the weather?
The energy input from the Sun.
Earth and weather and ocean circulation are powered by energy from?
By the energy we receive from the Sun.
Is weather energy?
No, not in itself. Weather is the result of energy. The energy involved comes from the sun. As there are temperature differences, there are differences in pressure, and wind is produced. Heat and wind are energy, and both come from the energy of the sun and the rotation of the earth. Cold is the absence of sun, wind indirectly comes from the sun, and rain is the result of evaporation and condensation which also involve the sun.
