In simple terms the sun heats some area more than others. The warmer air masses will rise because they are less dense, and more air will have to move in to replace it. Air that is less heated will sink, and spread out when it reaches the ground.

vibrations make air molecules move

Sun shines, heats up air, air rises, more air rushes in from the side to fill the gaps.
How does solar energy make an object move?
Solar cells make objects move by using the power from the sun to generate power to move something.
How does the sun influence winds on Earth?
The energy from the Sun does not influence the global winds, it causes them. Without the Sun's energy, there would be no atmospheric movement - your question implies something else causes the global winds and the Sun modifies these. This is not the case.
Do shadows move throughout the day?
