How is earths air heated?

Well, the sun gives off energy (or heat). When it hits the Earth's atmosphere, it absorbs that heat or energy. the energy is then trapped in the atmosphere. This is called the "green house effect."

What is the process of earth's atmosphere trapping in heat?

The Sun's heat, which keeps Earth from freezing solid, is retained in Earth's atmosphere by the greenhouse gases: water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and so on. Without greenhouse gases, Earth would freeze.Many, if not all of the various layers of a planet's atmosphere trap at least some of the heat from the sun. Additionally, the ground and bodies of water trap heat from the sun (and heat from the atmosphere).
