How does wind affects temperature?

Answer 1

The Sun heats Earth's atmosphere. This heating is more intense where the rays from the Sun are normal to the Earth's surface (the Tropical regions) than at the Poles.

It is a physical fact that when you heat gases they expand (become less dense) - this means that on a large scale the air over the Poles is cold and more dense than the air over the Tropics. This in turn mean that the weight/pressure of the air at the Poles is greater than the weight/pressure of the air over the Tropics. Air flows from places of High pressure to places of lower pressure - this movement of air is called WIND.

This sets up a circulation system moving cold polar air towards the tropics and warm tropical air to the poles, distributing heat around the planet.

Answer 2

As the sun warms up the earth ground it also warms atmosphere .When the atmosphere gets warm the hot air raises because it weight less then cold air goes down to the ground and it goes like that in a never ending circle that causes air to blow.

Answer 3

Yes. If you live in the northern hemisphere (morth of the equator) then if a north wind blows, it will be blowing from nearer the north pole, and so will be made of cold air. When this cold air reaches you it makes the temperature drop. If the wind comes from the south then it will have come from warmer tropical climates and so will warm up the land as it passes over. I live in the UK so a westerly wind often brings rain too, as it passes over the Atlantic Ocean, picking up water vapour which it deposits on the land as rain.

Answer 4

Wind has no direct effect on air temperature, although it may move air with

different temperatures around to different places.

Air moving across exposed skin promotes evaporation of moisture from the skin,

which has a cooling effect. But you'd have to say that evaporation is the direct

cause, not wind.

Answer 6

Wind can affect temperature in two ways. Firstly, wind can carry heat away from the body, making it feel cooler. Secondly, wind can mix the air, distributing warm and cold air more evenly and potentially moderating temperature extremes.
