Question

How is wind related to solar energy?

O Wind captures solar energy and moves it across Earth's surface.
O Solar radiation pushes air around, generating wind.
o Uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun creates wind.
o More wind is created on days with less sunlight.

Answer 1

Wind is actually a form of solar energy. Winds are caused by the heating of the atmosphere by the sun, the rotation of the Earth, and the Earth's surface irregularities. For as long as the sun shines and the wind blows, the energy produced can be harnessed to send power across the grid.
