It's a combination of our yellow Sun and our atmosphere.
Our Sun is younger, and Kal El is naturally superior to humans anyway.
In MOS, Jor El says "his cells will drink in its radiation" and that Earth's atmosphere is "more nourishing".
Basically he gets his "power" from our Sun's radiation and his strength from our atmosphere. His powers of flight are simply from pure strength. Like a Human in water, we become weightless and we can propel ourselves easily with little movement... Superman does the same in our skies.
