unequal heating of the Earth by the sun

Detailed explanation-1: -Unequal heating of the Earth’s surface also forms large global wind patterns. In area near the equator, the sun is almost directly overhead for most of the year. Warm air rises at the equator and moves toward the poles. At the poles, the cooler air sinks and moves back toward the equator.
Detailed explanation-2: -The unequal heating of the Earth’s surface is caused by the orbiting of the Earth around the Sun. The Earth and the Sun is a sphere, and when the Earth revolves around the Sun, the center of the Earth receives more sunlight than the poles and becomes hotter than other parts of the Earth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Global Winds. What is wind? Wind is the movement of air caused by an uneven heating of the Earth’s surface causing pressure changes.
