Wind originates from the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun. Because different parts of the Earth absorb solar energy at different rates—land heats up and cools down faster than water—this causes temperature differences in the air above these surfaces. Warm air expands and rises, creating areas of lower pressure, and cooler, denser air moves in to replace it, generating wind
. On a larger scale, the equator receives more solar energy than the poles, causing warm air to rise near the equator and cooler air to sink near the poles. This temperature difference drives global atmospheric circulation patterns. Additionally, the Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects the direction of the moving air, contributing to the characteristic wind patterns observed worldwide
. In summary, wind is air in motion caused primarily by temperature-induced pressure differences due to uneven solar heating, modified by the Earth's rotation and surface features
