Explain the three mechanism of heat transfer in Earth atmosphere?

Green house gas absorbs the radiation that would actually be emitted into space. This raises the earth's temperature. Clouds, absorption through the surface of the earth, earth's magnetic field changes, etc., relate to heat transfer in the earth-atmosphere system.

One reason is because of radiant energy, this strikes an atom or molecule and the molecule gets a lot of energy which makes it move faster causing the molecule to make more heat. And if thousands of molucules are doing this then they must be producing a lot of heat.

Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of a mass or substance from one place to another (liquid). Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves(travels through space). Conduction is the least important.

Types of interactions between earth's hydrosphere and atmosphere?
Evaporation, heat transfer, matter transfer, and a lowering of condensation are the types of interactions between Earth's hydrosphere and atmosphere.
How can energy transfer within Earth's atmosphere?
The energy transfers underground by radiation.
Explain how earth's mass is related to its ability to have an atmosphere?
The Earth has an atmosphere because it has the gravity necessary to keep the gases from floating off into space. The more mass a planet has, the more gravity it has, and the more gravity it has, the thicker an atmosphere it can sustain.
How is the atmosphere near the earth's surface warmed?
Through conduction: the transfer of energy from matter touching another matter.
Explain why earth's atmosphere is mainly heated from the ground up?
Earth's atmosphere is mainly heated from the ground up because the heat is absorbed into the ground. The warmed surface of the earth then emits heat as infrared radiation which rises into the atmosphere. There the greenhouse gases like water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane absorb and hold the heat.

How does energy transfer from the sun to Earth and to the atmosphere?
it goes throgh the atmosphere and enter the other plsnts to get to the energy that we need on earth
How does energy transfer from the sun to earth and the atmosphere?
it goes throgh the atmosphere and enter the other plsnts to get to the energy that we need on earth
How does a meteorite transfer energy when it sticks to earth?
it gets caught by the atmosphere
How does convection work with conduction to transfer energy with throughout the atmosphere?
it works by earth
How does convection work with conduction transfer energy throughout the atmosphere?
it works by earth
How can energy transfer within Earth's atmosphere?
The energy transfers underground by radiation.
Explain the three methods of heat transfer as they work to heat the earth and the earths atmosphere?
conduction in solids, the movement of heat in solids is sometimes called heat conduction but it can never be convectionconvection in liquids and gasesradiation
Which process causes the transfer of energy by air currents within the Earth's atmosphere?
convection
Which process causes transfer of energy by air current within earth atmosphere?
convection
Does mars have an atmosphere like earth?
No it doesn't it is very tricky to explain however it has air made up from carbon-oxide . So it cant have a atmosphere like earth .
Which principle was unknown in the time of Copernicus but later made it possible to explain a mechanism by which the earth orbits the sun?
The gravity of the sun attracts the earth.
