Answer:
Air in the atmosphere moves around the world in a pattern called global atmospheric circulation. This pattern, called atmospheric circulation, is caused because the Sun heats the Earth more at the equator than at the poles. It's also affected by the spin of the Earth. In the tropics, near the equator, warm air rises.

Energy from the sun is the fundamental cause of air circulation in Earth's atmosphere
Explanation:
Air circulates in earth's atmosphere is also refer as atmospheric circulation.
Atmospheric circulation:
- The flow of air at all altitudes of the atmosphere over all portions of the world is known as atmospheric circulation.
- Solar energy, which heats the atmosphere with varying intensities at the equator, is the driving factor behind atmospheric circulation.
- All of this movement is powered by sunlight absorbed and re-radiated by the Earth's surface and rotation.
- Together with ocean circulation, atmospheric circulation transfers heat throughout the whole Earth's surface, delivering us our daily weather and influencing regional climates.
