When sunlight strikes the ground it warms the ground and the air near it. The warm air near the ground then rises as it expands. What does this process typically result in on the ground?
Cool air rushes in to replace the rising warm air.
What is thermal in flight?
Sunlight heats the ground, this warms the air which expands to reduced density, rises and creates a rising wind which fills your sails or lifts your wings
How does radiation dissipate?
When the Sun's heat warms the ground and air.
What happens as the sun's heat warms the earth's surface?
The heat rises in the form of infrared radiation, which is easily captured by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Do the oceans release solar radiation?
Yes, solar radiation warms the surface of the ocean. Warmth rises from the ocean in the form of infrared radiation.
What forms wind power?
A convection current. The sun warms the ground/sea, this warms the air, the hot air rises, and cold air rushes in to take its place.

What happens after hot air warms the particles in a balloon?
it rises
Why will wind always be around?
Wind is always around because the sun is always around . A breeze / wind is created when the sun warms up the air. When the air is warmed up, it quickly rises up because heat rises up. As soon as it rises up, the cold air rushes in to take its place and that rush of cool air is wind.
What warms the ground and the ocean?
The sun!
What warms the atmosphere?
Mostly the sun. The sun's heat warms the earth. This heat, in the form of infra-red energy rises into the atmosphere where it is trapped by greenhouse gases. This greenhouse effect warms the atmosphere.
What makes the breeze blow towards land by day?
The sun rays heat the ground more than they heat the water. As a result the ground heats up. The air next to the ground warms up, expands and rises. The cooler and heavier air, from over the water moves in to replace it.
How does radiation dissipate?
When the Sun's heat warms the ground and air.
How does wind energy derives its energy from the sun?
The sun heats the ground (or the sea) that warms the air above it. The air rises (and the pressure falls) and air from higher pressure areas move in. that gives wind mills something to get blown by
How does solar energy determine weather and climate?
if there was no solar energy then there would be no winds because the sun heats the ground and all the air around it and it rises and it pushes cold air down to the ground and the hot air cools off and the cold air warms up and that process of heating creates winds.
