Which star is the driving force of the world weather?

The radiation of the sun causes uneven heating of the earth's surface, uneven distribution of atmospheric pressure, and the air moves along the horizontal direction to form wind. The formation of wind is the result of air flow. The formation of wind energy utilization is mainly to convert the kinetic energy of atmospheric movement into other forms of energy.

In the equatorial and low latitudes, the solar altitude angle is large, the sunshine time is long, the solar radiation intensity is strong, the ground and atmosphere receive more heat and the temperature is high; At high latitudes, the solar altitude angle is small, the sunshine time is short, the heat received by the ground and the atmosphere is less, and the temperature is low.

Extended data

The global atmosphere and the earth's surface are like a huge "glass greenhouse", which keeps the earth's surface at a certain temperature all the time and creates an environment suitable for human beings and other creatures to survive. In this system, the atmosphere can not only let the solar radiation penetrate to the ground, but also prevent the ground radiation loss. We call this protective effect of the atmosphere on the ground the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere.

Gases that cause the greenhouse effect are called "greenhouse gases". They have high penetrability to visible light (3.8~7.6nm, short wave) radiated by the sun and high absorbability to long wave radiation (such as infrared) reflected by the earth. These gases include carbon dioxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons, ozone, nitrogen oxides and water vapor, among which carbon dioxide is most closely related to people.
