What is the connection between the suns energy and the wind?
The sun's energy is the primary driver of wind patterns on Earth. As the sun heats the Earth's surface unevenly, air masses of differing temperatures and pressures are created, leading to the movement of air which we feel as wind. In this way, the sun's energy is indirectly responsible for creating wind.
When the sun rotates around the earth is called?
When the sun appears to move across the sky from east to west each day, it is actually the Earth rotating on its axis that creates this perception.
