The side of the Earth facing the Sun has its surface, atmosphere and oceans heated but the energy form the Sun. This then starts convection currents in the atmosphere and oceans as the area of maximum heating (near the equator) tries to distribute the heat to the area of least heating (the poles). The convection currents are moderated by the Earth's rotation due to the Coriolis effect.
