(N/A) Solar energy is the primary cause of wind,which is the kinetic energy of moving air. The uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the Sun creates pressure differences,leading to the movement of air (wind). $A$ windmill captures this kinetic energy of the wind to rotate a turbine,which is then used to generate electricity. Therefore,wind energy is essentially an indirect form of solar energy converted into electrical energy.
