how is the wind started/formed, sometimes it's in pockets or clumps of wind?

It has to do with high and low pressure systems. Wind moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas.

Clouds form when the invisible water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals. This can happen in three ways.\n\n1. The air is cooled below its saturation point. This happens when the air comes in contact with a cold surface or a surface that is cooling by radiation, or the air is cooled by adiabatic expansion (rising). This can happen\n\nalong warm and cold fronts (frontal lift), \nwhere air flows up the side of a mountain and cools as it rises higher into the atmosphere (orographic lift), \nby the convection caused by the warming of a surface by insolation (diurnal heating), \nwhen warm air blows over a colder surface such as a cool body of water. \n2. Clouds can be formed when two air masses below saturation point mix. Examples are breath on a cold day, aircraft contrails, and Arctic sea smoke.\n\n3. The air stays the same temperature but absorbs more water vapor into it until it reaches saturation.\n\n\nand there's lots more at....

It seems you are confusing the term 'blowing wind' with the idea of breathing. The wind is not 'blown out' from anywhere when it warms, so there is no question of it being sucked back in when cooled.\n\nWind is just the movement of air from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. When some part of the Earth warms up, it heats the air above it. Warm air expands and rises. It has lower pressure. Cooler air from nearby places has higher pressure, so it comes in to the low pressure area.\n\nSo wind is actually caused by the differences of temperature and pressure in areas near each other. There is no blowing out or sucking in. Its simply a movement of air from one place to another.

because hot air rises and cold air sinks.\n\nit creates pressure changes, which make air particles move rapidly, hence we have wind.

Wind is the roughly horizontal movement of air (as opposed to an air current) caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface. It occurs at all scales, from local breezes generated by heating of land surfaces and lasting tens of minutes to global winds resulting from solar heating of the Earth. The two major influences on the atmospheric circulation are the differential heating between the equator and the poles, and the rotation of the planet (Coriolis effect).\n\nGiven a difference in barometric pressure between two air masses, a wind will arise between the two which tends to flow from the area of high pressure to the area of low pressure until the two air masses are at the same pressure, although these flows will be modified by the Coriolis effect in the extratropics.\n\nWinds can be classified either by their scale, the kinds of forces which cause them (according to the atmospheric equations of motion), or the geographic regions in which they exist. There are global winds, such as the wind belts which exist between the atmospheric circulation cells. There are upper-level winds, such as the jet streams. There are synoptic-scale winds that result from pressure differences in surface air masses in the middle latitudes, and there are winds that come about as a consequence of geographic features such as the sea breeze. Mesoscale winds are those which act on a local scale, such as gust fronts. At the smallest scale are the microscale winds which blow on a scale of only tens to hundreds of metres and are essentially unpredictable, such as dust devils and microbursts.

Clouds are formed when warm moisture laden air is forced upwards either by a physical obstruction such as a hill/mountain or by being heated by the ground/sun.\nAs it rises it cools, and cold air can hold less moisture than warm air, so the vapour condenses out into droplets that form our clouds.\n\nFog is caused when moisture laden air is cooled by contact with the ground or water, it gets colder and colder until any moisture condenses out.  Fog forms as a layer as the air above it tends to be warmer due to rflected heat from the sun and also becauseof the lack of wind to stir the two layers together.  This is often referred to as an inversion.

The wind is just the observable and measurable manifestation of air molecules being drawn en masse from one place to another by a differential in atmospheric pressure between the two places.  What causes most of these pressure differentiations is (a) earth's rotation creating friction between the lower and upper components of the atmosphere, and (b) temperature gradients in the atmosphere and the oceans caused by the heating action of our star, the Sun.\n\nLet's go fly a kite!

Wind usually lays down at night but not always

It's not a matter of cold air moving toward warm air, but a matter of the air trying to find equilibrium. Cold air is denser than warm air, and cold air sinks while warm air rises. That's why we feel wind - the colder air rushes in to fill in the less dense air and create an equilibrium.\n\nThis may not be the most meteorologically correct explanation, so any weather people are free to enhance or correct it.

A low pressure system occurs in the air above the sea surface. It is where warmer, lighter air is rising. A high pressure system forms where cooler, drier, heavier air is sinking. Winds blow from areas of high pressure towards areas of low pressure.\n\nAs warm moist air over the ocean rises above a low pressure system it cools. Once the water vapour in the air cools to a certain point it condenses to form tiny water droplets which we see as clouds. If there is enough turbulence in a cloud and the cloud is big enough the water droplets clump together until they grow large enough to fall out of the cloud as rain.\n\nIn a strong low pressure system lots of warm moist air is rising rapidly and so very big clouds can form which have a great deal of turbulence inside. These are called storm clouds. Because they hold lots of moisture and because the tiny droplets of water inside collide with each other very frequently, very large raindrops can form which fall to the ground in heavy downpours.

No, wind is caused since warm ail is less dense than cold air. cold goes to warm, causing wind. If all air was the same temperatureair would sit still unless something moved it (fan etc.)

whirlwind, revolving mass of air resulting from local atmospheric instability, such as that caused by intense heating of the ground by the sun on a hot summer day. Examples of whirlwinds are waterspouts, tornadoes, small whirls of dust or leaves, and the sand whirls of the desert, called dust devils or dust whirls.

It's a little more complicated than that, but it's one of those funny factoids tossed about in any discussion of chaotic systems (such as the weather).\n\nThe idea is that micro-currents of air can influence subtle movements of larger currents of air, which in turn influence larger currents and so on, until you get a hurricane.  This has been proven by mathematical models of these chaotic systems, showing that one of the original influences of hurricane formation was a microcurrent of air of equivalent force to a butterfly flapping.\n\nBut to say A "caused" B is figurative; actually A only influenced the creation of B.  And it certainly doesn't mean that every time a butterfly flaps, we get a hurricane.

wind by definition is a sound.\n\nsound is the movement of air molecules vibrating at certain frequencies in the air.\n\nSo yeah, it have 'blow'(move at) audible sound waves.

Wind speed is never zero.  It seems like it somedays, but higher up it is windy. Just look at the clouds.

WHAT IS WIND?\n\nMovement of air between pressure systems as they try to balance out is called wind. Air flows from high pressure systems to low ones to try to reach equilibrium. In the constantly developing and changing system of the atmosphere this never actually happens.

A tornado is not just wind, the fact that you can see them is either a if it drags condensation down witth them when they form (condensation funnel), or stir up dust and debris when they contact the ground. These "clouds" are actually rapidly spinning vortices (if you dont know it, look it up), that can produce winds in excess of 300 mph on the Fujita Scale (Ditto), and the stuff they can pick up and carry with them..... well, I think that about covers it.
