How does the earth and it's atmosphere get heated?
The Earth's atmosphere gets heated mainly through the process of solar radiation. Energy from the sun is absorbed by the Earth's surface, which then radiates heat energy back into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere also trap some of this heat, leading to the warming of the planet.

What is the particles outside earths atmosphere?
Particles found outside Earth's atmosphere include solar wind particles, cosmic rays, and interstellar dust. These particles can interact with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, impacting space weather and the planet's environment.
