Answer 2

Planetary wind Any wind system of the earth's atmosphere which owes its existence and direction to solar radiation and to the rotation of the earth.
Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds. On a rotating planet, air will also be deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.
