A small part of the heating of the atmosphere is directly from the sun. A lot of heating near the surface is done through conduction from land or water that has been warmed by the sun.
it is heated by conduction by the earths atmosphere
air gets heated with carben dioxid and the rays of the sun
Earth is heated by the sun, which is a star.
Yes, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by solar energy. Sunlight penetrates the atmosphere and warms the surface of the Earth. This heat is then radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to its overall temperature.

Stratosphere
The lower atmosphere is primarily heated by the sun's radiation. As sunlight enters the atmosphere, it warms the Earth's surface, which then emits heat energy back into the atmosphere. This process creates a temperature gradient, with warmer air near the surface and cooler air at higher altitudes.
The atmosphere is more heated from below because the air is thicker the farther down you go, and so it traps the heat in the air.

No, typically the upper atmosphere is colder than the lower atmosphere. This is because the lower regions of the atmosphere are heated by the Earth's surface, while the upper atmosphere is heated by solar radiation. This temperature difference contributes to the formation of weather patterns and circulation in the atmosphere.
