Where the hell does wind begin??

I could swear I knew the answer in grade 5 and no longer remember but like at what point is it one step to the right and no wind and suddenly wind a step further. Like rain starts from the clouds (and I assume thunder too) but what about wind.

“Wind forms when the sun heats one part of the atmosphere differently than another part. This causes expansion of warmer air, making less pressure where it is warm than where it is cooler. Air always moves from high pressure to lower pressure, and this movement of air is wind.” source

aka the sun's discrimination makes air go woosh

Now do farts...?

Edit: Sorry, just seeing your username. Excuse the ridiculous question.

lol it’s cool, girls are not automatically offended by the concept of or actual farts. Farts would be too small to produce a significant breeze but there would be a very small air disruption from both the fart itself and the temperature change it would impart

I think he meant that scientifically girls don't have the ability to fart. /s

Or breaking wind. This one has so many layers
