The primary factor that directly causes the pressure difference between the equator and the poles is **the amount of heat in each area**. The equator receives more direct sunlight throughout the year, leading to higher temperatures and lower atmospheric pressure compared to the colder poles, which receive sunlight at a more oblique angle.
