[hope that you mean the "air layer" just above the earth]
Conduction is the way of energy transmission in solids. But when it comes to the air it is by convection & radiation.
So when the solar radiations reach the earth they heat up the surrounding air molecules. Further they heat up the ground. So next the ground becomes the heat source for the air & heat energy is transmitted to the air layer just above by convection.

What process moves energy from earths surface to high in the troposphere?
conduction

What is the way the suns energy is absorbed by the earths surface and warms the earth?
the answer is conduction
What is the way the sun's energy is absorbed by the earths surface and warms the earth?
the answer is conduction
What three processes transfer heat over earths surface?
Convection, radiation, and conduction
Does heat from the earths interior reaches earth through conduction?
Heat from the earth's interior reaches the surface through a combination of convection and conduction.
Does the energy move from earths surface and atmosphere out of space through radiation conduction or convection?
conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth
