It is due to different angle sunlight shine on different part of earth.
The Heat gain to earth is from the Sun and loss to space.
Sunlight reach earth at different angle and it is peak at the equator. On North and South pole, the sunlight reach surface at very narrow angle and the sunlight per surface area is a lot lesser that on the equator. While heat gain is uneven but heat loss is even that is colder climate at north and south and hotter climate at equator.
In addition, earth rotate around the axis that is slightly tilt. It yield summer on northern hemisphere when it tilt down toward sun (sunlight reach at right angle) and winter when it tilt away from sun (sunlight reach at steep angle).
Important to note: hotter and colder climate is not about the distance of the sun but angle that sunlight shine on earth.

What is the main cause of these winds?
The uneven heating of Earth's surface by the Sun
What responsible for the uneven heating between the poles and the equator on any given day?
Earth's Tilt
Does maximum heating of Earth's surface occur?
Yes
What causes differential heating of the Earth?
Differential heating of the Earth is caused by variations in the angle and intensity of solar radiation received at different latitudes. This leads to uneven heating of the Earth's surface, which influences global atmospheric circulation patterns and weather systems.
What causes currents I flow between the poles and the equator?
Uneven solar heating
What caused hurricane Andrew to occur?
The uneven heating of the earth's tempature.
Can uneven heating of air in earth's atmosphere cause convection to occur?
yes
What causes weather on Earth?
the uneven heating of the earth
What causes the unevening of the Earth?
The earth's tilt causes an uneven heating of the earth. The uneven heating due to the tilt causes the different seasons throughout the year.
How does uneven heating of earth's cause winds to flow?
the uneven heating of earth's surface causes pressure differences which set air in motion
What are results from uneven heating of the earth?
wind
How does current formed?
from the uneven heating of earth
What causes uneven heating of the earth?
Uneven heating of the Earth's surface is primarily caused by variances in the angle of the sun's rays, due to the Earth's tilt on its axis. This tilt results in different amounts of solar energy reaching different parts of the Earth, leading to variations in temperature. Additionally, factors such as cloud cover, albedo, and ocean currents also contribute to uneven heating patterns.
Uneven heating of earth and its atmosphere?
it the sun solar
What is caused by the uneven heating on earth and the atmosphere?
axis
What is produced by uneven heating of Earth's hemisphere?
wind
What is the result of the Suns uneven heating of the earth?
not sure
