In a Hadley cell, warm air rises at the equator due to intense solar radiation, and as it rises, it cools and forms clouds. At higher altitudes, cool air moves poleward and sinks, creating clear skies and high-pressure zones. This circulation pattern is driven by the unequal heating of the Earth's surface and the Coriolis effect.
