Detailed explanation-1: -Wind results from a horizontal difference in air pressure and since the sun heats different parts of the Earth differently, causing pressure differences, the Sun is the driving force for most winds.

Detailed explanation-2: -This change in pressure is caused by changes in air density, and air density is related to temperature. Warm air is less dense than cooler air because the gas molecules in warm air have a greater velocity and are farther apart than in cooler air.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wind is caused by uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun. Because the earth’s surface is made up of different types of land and water, the earth absorbs the sun’s heat at different rates. One example of this uneven heating is the daily wind cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Differences in air pressure also result in wind. Air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure and the greater difference in air pressure, the faster the wind blows. As you travel further from the Earth’s surface, the atmosphere changes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Air flows from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure. This movement of air due to difference in pressure is called as wind.
