Answer:

Convection drives the circulation of air in the earth’s atmosphere. The sun heats the air near the earth’s equator, which becomes less dense and rises upward. As it rises, it cools and becomes less dense than the air around it, spreading out and descending toward the equator again.

Hope this helps!!

Have a nice day :)
