How is the atmosphere near the earth's surface warmed?
Through conduction: the transfer of energy from matter touching another matter.
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed from?
It's warmed from the surface. Shortwave radiation passes through the atmosphere, or at least about half of it, where it reaches the ground and is absorbed. The ground re-emits it at a longer wavelength, thereby warming the lower atmosphere.
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
When air and atmosphere is warmed what does air pressure do?
decreases i think
What phenomenon naturally warms the earth's lower atmosphere and surface?
The atmosphere helps keep earth's surface warm, but does not generate heat itself. The earth is warmed primarily by solar radiation (heat from the sun), and to a lesser extent by the slow decay of long lived heavy isotopes within earth's mantle and core.

How the atmosphere heated?
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.

What is Earth's surface warmed by?
The sun
What is warmed by the heat from Earth's surface?
themosphere
What causes the air in atmosphere to be unevenly warmed?
The suns energy
When air in the atmosphere is warmed air pressure?
Warm front
When air and atmosphere is warmed what does air pressure do?
decreases i think
Why is earths atmosphere warmed un evenly by the sun?
The sun can only shine on part of the earth's surface at any one time. This is why we have day and night in a rolling approach as the earth rotates.
