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.

The phenomenon that naturally warms Earth's lower atmosphere and surface is known as the greenhouse effect. This process occurs when certain gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor, trap heat from the sun, preventing it from escaping back into space. This trapped heat maintains a temperature conducive to life on Earth, creating a stable climate. Without the greenhouse effect, the planet would be too cold to support most forms of life.
This phenomenon is known as global warming. It occurs when greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to the gradual increase in the planet's surface temperature.
Global warming
An unnatural temperature increase in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface is called global warming
A landform is naturally formed feature on earth's surface.
About 30% of solar radiation entering the Earth's atmosphere is reflected back into space by the Earth's surface and atmosphere, a phenomenon known as albedo. Of this, roughly 10% is reflected directly by the surface, while the rest is reflected by clouds and atmospheric particles. The exact percentage can vary based on factors like surface type and atmospheric conditions.

Water is the only substance found naturally in the atmosphere as a solid (ice crystals in clouds), a liquid (raindrops), and a gas (water vapor).
The gravitational pull keeps the Earth's atmosphere close to the surface...
