The Sun heats the air that makes up the atmosphere, but because the Earth is a sphere (well actually its not a perfect sphere, its actually a very slight egg shape) less solar energy reaches the poles, thus they are colder, and more solar energy reaches the equator, thus it is warmer. This temperature difference is what drives wind, as well as all other storms on Earth.
So the answer to your question is; the Sun does not helpthe wind, without it, there would be no wind.

∙ 12y agoThe sun heats the Earth and causes temperature differences. These temperature differences also contribute to air pressure differences which cause winds. Heating from the sun can also cause "mixing" of the atmosphere which can bring down stronger winds from the upper atmosphere to the ground level.
Differential heating of earth's crust. Clouds (and snow) reflect sunlight. Where earth's surface albedo is low, it warms, warming the air. The warm air mass rises, and cooler air slides along earth's surface to replace it.
The wind is largely solely a product of solar power.

∙ 11y agothe sun cause un= heating of the earth making warm air to rise and cold air to sink. now you have wind.

∙ 14y agoIt doesnt ahahahahaha <SHLASH BAYBII>

∙ 13y agoIt can create wind when the air is still cool but then the sun heats the air up.
Hot air+Cool air=Wind
Lots of burning hot air+Lots of ice cold air=Tornado

What does uneven heat from sun cause to the earth?
(Wind)
What is the predicate in this sentenceThe wind began to blow?
The wind began to blow The wind is the subject began to blow is the predicate
Is it true that wind itself cause much erosion?
yes, wind can blow seeds, sand, leaves, rocks, etc from one location to another (depending on how powerful the wind is)
What are the earth forces that cause erosion?
Sun, Wind, and Water (both liquid and ice).
What does wind result from?
Wind can result from a number of atmospheric events. The man cause of wind if the uneven heating and cooling of the earths surface due to the atmosphere, sun, and ocean.
How does energy cause wind to blow?
the energy of the sun and the divergent parts of the wind cause each and every part of why the sun causes energy which will lead to the wind blowing
What causes wind to blow in gusts?
The pressure of the sun causes the wind to blow.
Where does the solar wind blow from?
From the sun. It's not really a wind but a stream of charged particles emitted from the sun's upper atmosphere.
What is the source that causes the wind to blow?
What source: Energy From where: Sun
Does the solar wind blow away or toward the sun?
Away
What forces cause wind to blow at altitude?
friction
How the sun is the major source of energy that powers surface currents?
The sun is major source of energy that power surface currents because the sun causes wind to blow and winds cause surface currents to form
How does the wind get energy?
Basically from the Sun. The Sun powers our weather systems, which is what makes the winds that spins the turbines blow
Does the sun influenced the formation of wind on earths surface?
Not only influence, The Sun's energy is the CAUSE of wind on Earth.
Does the moon have wind to blow away the prints?
No. There's no air, and therefore no difference in air pressure to cause wind.
Harmful effects of wind?
High gusts of wind can cause great destruction they can destroy your house or shelter, and blow debris which can cause harm to you or your animals.
