What makes the weather The weather is made by the Sun heating the air which surrounds the Earth. The Sun heats the air differently from area to area.
Weather Intro Weather Weather is caused by the unequal heating of the surface of the planet. This occurs in two ways.

CLIMATE The sun is our heat source, but due to the tilt of the Earth, the heat is not the same at each spot of the surface. This tilt gives us different.
Convection Currents  An area of Earth’s surface is heated by the sun’s rays.  Air over heated surface expands and becomes less dense and the air pressure.

But if you’re wearing white, you will stay cooler. If you’re wearing a black shirt on a sunny day, you will feel REALLY warm. But if you’re wearing white, you will stay cooler.

This is because dark colors ABSORB more sunlight than lighter colors.

The air over this part of South America might be cool… While the air over this part is warmer. This is called UNEVEN HEATING.

Cold air moves pretty slowly, and stays pretty tightly packed together:

Hot air, on the other hand, goes really fast and expands to fill more space.

So, hot air is LESS DENSE than cold air.

Spread out for low density You should remember from our density column that less dense materials float on more dense materials. Spread out for low density Closely packed for high density

So, since hot air is less dense than the surrounding air, it rises, leaving a low-density, low-pressure area behind. Low pressure

This rushing in of cold air is what we call… WIND!! Nearby cold air can then rush in to fill low-pressure area left by the rising hot air. This rushing in of cold air is what we call… WIND!!

UNEVEN HEATING The uneven heating of the air that causes wind is created not only by different colors on Earth’s surface, but also by: Different surfaces (grass vs. snow vs. water, etc.) Pollution in some areas Different amounts of sunlight due to seasons, clouds, etc.

So the wind in the daytime blows TOWARD the beach. During the day, the air over the sand is hotter than the air over the water because the water takes longer to heat up in the Sun. So the wind in the daytime blows TOWARD the beach. WARMER COOLER

So the wind blows toward the ocean at night. But at night, the air over the water is warmer than the air over the sand, because water HOLDS heat longer than the ground. So the wind blows toward the ocean at night. COOLER WARMER
