Heat transfer within the atmosphere occurs via all three modes of heat transfer:Conduction - as the air contacts existing heat sources. These might be surfaces that have been heated previously viaabsorptionof solar radiation or from chemical reactions
Convection - as warm air mixes with cold air as air currents move the air around and as buoyancy effects cause warm air to rise and cooler air to sink.
Radiation - much of the air is composed of heat absorbing molecules such as water vapor. Solar radiation is absorbed by these molecules, causing them to warm up.

What happens to objects that enter the earths atmosphere?
the objects which enter the earths atmosphere are being pulled down towards the earths surface due to the earths gravity. And so it leads to falling falling of large objects from the space on the surface of the earth.
Air weight that varies over earths surface is called?

Does reflection and absorption by the atmosphere prevent ozone from reaching earths surface?
Sorry, but your data is wrong. Nitrogen does reach the surface. Its 4/5 th of the atmosphere.
