Because it is being heated from below, and warm air likes to rise. Solar radiation generally does not heat the atmosphere, but heats the earth's surface, which then radiates thermal energy (heat) back into the atmosphere. Since this warm air rises, there tends to be constant vertical motion in the lower atmosphere, which is the essence of instability.

Does the troposphere have less variable conditions than any other layers?
No, it has more variable conditions by most definitions. This is because it is unstable, with cold air at the top and warm air at the bottom. It also contains water vapor, which is vital to most forms of weather.
Can air temperature not be measured beyond the troposphere?
Air temperature can be measured beyond the troposphere.
What is most of heating in the troposphere comes from the movement of air called?
it is called radiation
Examples of what the troposphere does?
The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. It gives us air to breathe, and wind to ruffle our hair.
What are the layers of the air?
Layers of atmousphere/Air: Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere and Theremosphere

Which layer of the atmosphere has the most air?
Troposphere
How does the troposphere affect life on earth?
The troposphere is where most life on earth lives. It is where we have our air and makes our weather.
Which layer would have the most air pollution on the atmosphere?
The troposphere
Can planes fly in the troposphere Any time?
yes most civilian aircraft fly only in the troposphere as because of the density of the air the wing can generate lift very easily as long as the wing is a suitable shape. The troposphere is only about 12Km in vertical height
Where is air greater in the exosphere or in the troposphere?
troposphere
Can air temperature be measured beyond the troposphere?
Air temperature can be measured beyond the troposphere.
What does the churning air in the troposphere determine?
what place helps determine the churninig air in the troposphere
What does the churning air in the troposphere determines what?

Can air temperature not be measured beyond the troposphere?
Air temperature can be measured beyond the troposphere.

it is called radiation
What is the most common gas found in dry air in the troposphere?
the most common gas is water vapor
