Air near the ground is not directly heated by sunlight. Sunlight heats the surface of the Earth with (mostly) short-wave energy. The surface of the Earth absorbs this short-wave energy and emits long-wave energy. This long-wave energy is what heats air near the ground.
When air is heated, it expands, becomes lighter, and rises higher in the atmosphere. This is the driving force behind all weather on the planet.

When air near ground is warmed by sunlight what occurs?
When air is reduced to the dew point temperature and is near the ground, a fog is formed. It is a form of a stratus cloud.
When sunlight strikes the ground it warms the ground and the air near it The warm air near the ground then rises as it expands What does this process typically result in on the ground?
Cool air rushes in to replace the rising warm air.
Average temperatures are lower near the poles because sunlight strikes the ground at an angle?
Yes.
Where can sunlight be found?
you go your Cent...you don't found sunlight any place sunlight is always your near and you feel any time ...and sunlight you use and sun gives you vitamin D...
How is the atmosphere near the earth's surface warmed?
Through conduction: the transfer of energy from matter touching another matter.

Yes.
What happens if you put algae near sunlight?
Yes the sun is where algae gets its energy.
What happens if you put algae near sunlight die stop growing turn yellow or grow more quickly?
Grow more quickly
What materials is the gecko's homemade out of?
geckos can live in the ground of near rocks. they need plenty of sunlight to bask in. you would need fake plants and dirt and you're fine
A cloud that is near or touching the ground?
Fog is near or on the ground.
Are areas near the equator are warmed more than the areas closer to the poles?
Yes they are.
Why do plants live near the top layer of the ocean?
The plants get more sunlight near the surface of the ocean. They need sunlight to grow and to produce photosynthesis.
Why does temperature drop with height?
Since air is relatively transparent to sunlight, solar radiation passes through it easily and heats the ground. The atmosphere then gets heated from the ground and the atmosphere is warmer near the ground. As warm air rises from the ground, it expands and cools, and the sum result is colder air at higher altitudes than at the surface.
You sat near the pond the cool water lapping at your bare toes as the sun warmed your faces?
Restful
