Which of the following answers best explains how the Sun influences the temperature differences in land, air and water and contribute to atmospheric movement?

• The Sun heats the land faster than water causing the air above the land to warm and rise.

• Convection causes the Sun to heat the water and land causing the air above it to warm and rise.

• The Sun heats the air through radiation and as the hot air sinks it warms the water and land equally.

• The water is able to heat the land faster through conduction because of the Sun warming the water through radiation.
