The major contribution in heating the troposphere comes from the sun's radiation. The sun warms the ground by radiation, which in turn warms the air heating the troposphere.

What happens to light when it hits dark coloured clothes?
Most of it is converted into heat energy, that is ... it ceases to exist.
Which form of energy is released or absorbed in most chemical reactions?
If there is any type of energy given offduring a chemical reaction, it is most likely to be heat or light. However, heat and light often come together, and there are more reactions known to give heat without light than the other way around. Thus, I would go for heat then. (simply put)
Does paper absorb heat?
Depending on the source of the heat energy: -A darker piece of paper would absorb more energy from light sources, then a white piece of paper. This is due to the fact that the white piece of paper would reflect most of the light energy, whereas the dark paper would absorb that energy. This light energy can then be converted into heat energy, leading the dark paper to have more heat energy then the white paper -Heat from a source such as hot water being poured on the paper, would not lead to any color related heat difference
What is two other names for heat energy?
electromagnetic energy is the other name for light energy. Radiant energy is also widely used, though electromagnetic is the most scientific term.
Burning of wood what transformation of energy is it?
When wood burns, chemical energy is transformed into heat
Where does the troposphere receives most of its heat energy?
It's the Sun. I'm studying this right now, it says:'Nearly all energy comes from the sun. Some of the solar radiation received by the Earth is reflected back to space by the atmosphere, clouds, and the Earth's surface. The rest is absorbed by the atmosphere and Earth and is changed into heat energy.'
What causes most heat of the heating of the troposphere?
The sun is the most useful cause for the heating of the troposphere
What explains why the trade winds blow towards the Equator?
The Equator receives the most heat energy
What form of heat transfer is most inmportant in heating the troposphere?
no
What part of the earths system absorbs the most energy?
The area around the Equator receives the most direct sunlight, thus absorbs the most heat.
What part of the Earth system absorbs the most energy?
The area around the Equator receives the most direct sunlight, thus absorbs the most heat.
What part of earth's system absorbs the most energy?
The area around the Equator receives the most direct sunlight, thus absorbs the most heat.
What planet receives the most energy from the sun?
Mars is the closest planet to the sun, and receives the most energy.
What is the layer from the sun the earth receives the most energy from?
The layer in which the Earth receives the most energy is the photosphere
What form of heat transfer is most important in heating the troposphere?
either conduction or convection
What organism receives the most energy?
Plants
Why is heat the most common form of wasted energy?
Heat energy is the most wasted form of energy.
