How does the Sun affect the movement of Earth's winds?

A.
It creates solar winds, which pushes air in Earth's atmosphere and result in currents.


B.
It warms Earth's surface unevenly, causing changes in air temperature and pressure.


C.
It has an uneven gravitational pull on Earth's atmosphere, causing changes in pressure and direction.


D.
It creates solar flares, which energize the winds around Earth's equator and cause them to increase in speed.

The correct answer is:

B. It warms Earth's surface unevenly, causing changes in air temperature and pressure.

The Sun's uneven heating of the Earth's surface leads to temperature differences, which in turn creates pressure differences. These pressure differences drive the movement of air, resulting in winds.
