Cold air is denser than warm air; it will sink below warmer air, pushing warm air upward. Earth’s rotational movement pushes air from northern areas to southern areas. Heat moves from a cooler object or place to a warmer object or place. Gases in the atmosphere block solar energy, so the sun’s heat does not reach the troposphere.
