As the sun warms the Earth's surface, the atmosphere warms too. Some parts of the Earth receive direct rays from the sun all year and are always warm. Other places receive indirect rays, so the climate is colder. Warm air, which weighs less than cold air, rises. Then cool air moves in and replaces the rising warm air. This movement of air is what makes the wind blow.

What is the sun's energy made up of?
the suns energy comes from a hydrogen particle smashing in to another hydrogen particle and creates helium, however during this proses it causes heat and light energy and that is what the suns energy is made of
Primary source of the suns energy is?
The primary source of the suns energy is nuclear fusion of hydrogen. Nuclear fusion occurs in the core of the Earth.
Does solar energy come from the sun or from wind?
Wind energy and solar energy are alternative energy sources they are NOT the same, solar energy comes from the suns heat while wind energy comes from the wind. Solar energy is generally collected with solar panels while wind energy is generated when the wind turns wind mill like structures that in turn, turn turbines that generate electricity.
Is the suns energy completely absorbed by the atmosphere?
No it is not.
What is a steam of charged particles produced by the suns corona called?
The Solar Wind.
What is the connection between the suns energy and the wind?
Describe the connection between the sun's energy and the wind.
What is the source of energy that causes wind to blow?
The energy to create wind comes from solar energy.
What do we call the tool to create wind energy?
The tool that is used to create wind energy is called a wind turbine.
Should wind energy be considered a form of solar energy?
no because solar is not few wind is for different things that are solar energy ^ is that english? technically i guess... the suns heat changes the air temperature [pressure], the hot and cold molecules displace one another [push against each other] and create 'wind'
In what way is the suns energy stored in plants?
The suns energy is converted to sugar through photosynthesis. The plant uses this sugar to grow and create pollen
Is wind energy created by wind tubines?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Wind turbines do not create energy. They take energy from the wind and convert it into electrical energy.
How does sunlight get used?
the suns heat energy is magnified to create electrical power
Does wind create energy?
No. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. The energy of the wind ultimately comes from the sun.
Are windmills wind energy?
Windmills are not wind energy but if put in use it can create energy from the wind it gets so its called wind energy but all the energy is retained by the windmill... Easily enought "NO"
Why is wind power a renewable energy source?
Wind power is described as a renewable energy source because winds are produced by the suns thermal energy and this is never going to fail or need other sources of energy.
Wind energy renewable?
Wind is a renewable resource on earth. Wind turbines can be used to catch the wind's energy and be used to create electricity.
What do these tornadoes with there currents create around the earth to protect it from the suns solar wind?
Tornadoes have nothing to do with protecting Earth from the solar wind. Convection currents in Earth's core create a magnetic field that protects against the solar wind.
