Question

How does the suns energy cause a hurricane to form

Answer 1

The sun heats the land and oceans unevenly, creating areas of upwards and downwards moving air as well as pressure differences. This causes air to flow from one area to another. For hurricanes the sun heats the ocean, causing some water to evaporate. The water vapor powers convection in storms which can then strengthen and organize to form hurricanes. Hope this helps:)
