ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Wind

Wind is air that is moving around us. Just like when you climb up a hill, you feel a bit of a breeze as the air is blowing by you. So when you see a windy day it is the same concept, but a much bigger breeze. Wind starts when the Sun warms up the air and the warm air starts to rise. As the air rises it creates an area of low pressure below the air. This low pressure area sucks in the air from other parts of the atmosphere filling the space. This causes the air from other parts of the atmosphere to rush in and create what we know as wind!
