Temperature. The sun heats different parts of the planet at different rates, and as a result of thermal expansion of gasses convection currents are created in the atmosphere. When combined with the counter-clockwise (eastward) rotation of the earth, these convection currents are responsible for wind patterns on Earth. Keep in mind that if the warm air rises due to thermal expansion, something must take it's place - and cooler air is what rushes in to do this.

Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. As air gets heated, it rises, creating areas of low pressure. Cooler air rushes in to fill these low-pressure areas, creating wind.
