On Earth, heat travels by
radiation, convection,
and conduction.
On Earth on a sunny day,
the heat radiating from
the Sun warms the
molecules of the
atmosphere, and they
warm other molecules
and they warm others in
turn. That conduction is
what keeps the Earth
warm at night when we
aren't receiving direct
Sun rays. It also means
that even when we are
standing in shadow, the
air around us has some
warmth. On Earth, heat
also travels in large
density-driven
convection loops that
spread out the warmth.
At height Air has low
pressure so temprature
is LOW.
