The atmosphere of Earth, often known as air, is the layer of gases that surrounds the planet and forms its planetary atmosphere, and is held in place by gravity.
It is made up of 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, and 1 percent other gases and water vapor.
Explanation:
The natural movement of air or other gases relative to a planet's surface is referred to as wind.
The wind is the movement of air generated by the sun's unequal heating of the Earth and the rotation of the Earth.
Winds are created by differences in atmospheric pressure.
The sun warms the water and land at the Equator more than it does the rest of the world. Warm air from the equator rises higher in the atmosphere and migrates to the poles. This is a system with low pressure.
At the same time, cooler, denser air replaces the warm air as it flows across the Earth's surface toward the Equator. This is a system with a lot of pressure. High-pressure areas to low-pressure zones are where the winds usually blow.
Polar easterlies, westerlies, horse latitudes, trade winds, and the doldrums are the five major wind zones on the planet.
