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 else can I help you with?
Is the suns energy completely absorbed by the atmosphere?
No it is not.
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.
What do you call the energy that comes from the sun?
this is known as radiant energy. the suns radiation does it
Why is 6 of the suns energy scattered or reflected into space?
why
Where do most of the suns energy fall?
The vast majority of the Sun's energy escapes into space.
What do we call the tool to create wind energy?
The tool that is used to create wind energy is called a wind turbine.
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
Does wind energy create pollution?
Wind energy itself does not create pollution as it is a clean and renewable source of energy. However, the manufacturing, transportation, and installation of wind turbines can create some pollution. Overall, wind energy is considered one of the cleanest sources of energy available.
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.
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.
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'
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.
What is the source of energy that causes wind to blow?
The energy to create wind comes from solar energy.
How is wind used to create energy?
Wind energy act as mechanical energy.then mechanical energy converted to electrical energy throw generator
How might wind power energy be used?
wind power energy may be used by using it to brush your teeth because it helps the energy of the water create wind from the water/wind power energy.
Why is wind useful in technology?
Wind is useful in technology because it can create energy.
