The Sun powers Earth's weather by heating the atmosphere and hydrosphere unevenly. This energy drives the water cycle, creates wind through changes in air pressure, and fuels cloud formation and storms. Greenhouse gases help trap heat, keeping Earth warm enough for life while allowing weather systems to constantly shift and change.
