It’s literally howling outside my window right now and it got me wondering how is the wind even formed? Like what kinds of nature mechanisms create it lol

The sun warms up the surface of the planet. As the surface gets warmer the air above it gets warmer and rises. This decreases the air pressure. As the air pressure has reduced a bit air from elsewhere flows into the lower pressure region. This flow of air is wind.

Wind is air moving from a higher pressure region to a lower pressure region.
