Abstract:

Wind is a form of solar energy that occurs when the sun heats the air, which causes the air to rise, creating a vacuum. That vacuum pulls in cooler air creating wind. Scientists estimate that some 2 percent of sunlight energy received by the earth is converted to kinetic energy of the winds.
