The sun warms up the earth and causes the radiation to spread throughout the atmosphere the cold air come in place of the warm air and it replaces rising hot air the air moving like this makes the wind blow because of the build up of hot and cold air

Answer:

As the sun warms the earths surface the atmosphere warms too. Then cool airs moves in and replaces the rising warm air. This movement of air is what makes the wind blow.
