If we consider sun as planet, I would say that the solar flames covering the sun acts like a shield [similar to the atmosphere acting as a shield for the earth].In that case there might even be life existence in the sun. If this assumption comes true then i would say that the earth gives out wind energy, because we consider the sun's shield the solar flames to give out heat energy, similarly we can just say that the earth's shield the atmosphere gives out wind energy.
this is just my assumption!

What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
Which surface radiates heat the best?
Dull Black Surfaces
What kind of radiation passes through the atmosphere and reaches the earths surface?
highlight factors which show that heat from the sun does reach th earth surface by convection
How do clouds help heat the earth?
Clouds don't really heat the Earth. Some clouds keep the Earth from losing heat. Heat is moved in different ways. One way is radiation. The Sun warms the Earth with radiated heat. But, the Earth also radiates heat. Clouds absorb some of the heat the Earth radiates and radiate it back to the Earth. If there are no clouds present all of the heat the Earth radiates go out into space and is lost.
Air in the what is warmed by heat from the earths surface?
troposphere
What heats earths atmosphere?

The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
the answer is radiation
What is the intense heat beneath earths surface can be a source of?
radiation & gravity
What is infrared radiation-?
Infrared radiation is when earths surface radiates some of earths surface back into the atmosphereinfrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation, which involves waves rather than particles. This means that unlike conduction and convection radiation can even pass through the vacuum of space.infrared radiation is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted in the form of heat. infrared radiation is invisible
What three processes transfer heat over earths surface?
Convection, radiation, and conduction
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
How is air heated by the Earth's surface one word?
In one word... radiation. More specifically... the sun heats the Earth's surface, and the absorbed heat radiates back into the atmosphere.
What is most of the energy that heats earths atmosphere?
Heat from the sun rising as infrared radiation from the surface of the earth.
Why is radiation of heat larger in a black surface than a white surface?
A black surface absorbs the heat radiation and a white surface reflects the heat radiation
Does solar panel produce radiation?
Yes. It radiates heat from the unconverted sunlight.
Greenhouse effect events in order starting with lights origin?
Incident infrared radiation is blocked. Visible and ultraviolet radiation heat Earth. Earth radiates infrared radiation. Infrared radiation is blocked and heats Earth. Visible and shortwave radiation heat Earth.Earth radiates longwave radiationLongwave radiation is reflected downward Longwave radiation heats Earth
Is it true that the hotter a surface is the more heat it radiates?
yes
