How can we prove that the movement of the winds of the planet Earth is towards the North Pole or the South Pole? ,
The magnetic attraction force increases in the frontal part of meteorites and planets.
It leads to accretion of matter, so the mass of the planet increases in the direction
There is a moving front, and in contrast, reduced accumulation and mass in the rear
A part of the planet, which leads to a decrease in gravity. Therefore, every Observing a greater gravitational force means that the planet will move in this direction direction, and it has been proved that the greatest attraction is at the North Pole, i.e. at . The planet moves in a direction from the south pole to the north pole
Abbas,
There is no such pole-ward motion of the wind.
We can demonstrate that by noting that at high latitudes air does not uniformly head to the pole (how could it, in the absence of a sink of air?)
The magnetic properties, or otherwise, of meteorites has nothing to do with this.
>The planet moves in a direction from the south pole to the north pole
This is not true.
The Earth rotates around its axis - and orbits the Sun in an elliptical path. The Earth does not and cannot move perpendicularly to the plane of that path.

Greetings and respect. Thank you very much for your complete answer. Abbas
'What do you mean by 'winds'? The Earth's atmosphere has various persistent structures at various scales from the Global Circulation ( https://www.noaa.gov/jetstream/global/global-atmospheric-circulations ) to extremely small micro-climates in a particular river valley - each is dominated by different physics and thermodynamics. 'Wind' is actually somewhat of a side effect, the rotations of fluid mass moving tangential to the gradient between high and low pressure zones.
As to mass accretion, "48.5 tons (44 tonnes or 44,000 kilograms) of meteoritic material falls on Earth each day" ( https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/meteors-meteorites/ ), and because of Earth's rotation that is spread fairly evenly across the surface during a day. Further, any increase in mass increases gravity, not decrease. And the magnetic field vector is pretty much vertical at the poles, the Earth (the planet ) itself is the 'magnet', so the field is more or less symmetric, so why would it move 'towards' the North Pole?
There is an excellent visualization at https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/700hPa/orthographic=57.78,35.19,1946 , you can explore the various wind patterns at different scales and pressure altitudes for your local area. Attached is a snapshot at surface and high altitude.
