Earth's atmosphere is mainly heated from the ground up because the heat is absorbed into the ground. The warmed surface of the earth then emits heat as infrared radiation which rises into the atmosphere. There the greenhouse gases like water vapour, carbon dioxide and methane absorb and hold the heat.

Explain why earths troposphere is mainly heated from the ground up?
The Earth's troposphere is mainly heated from the ground up because the Earth's surface absorbs more sunlight than the atmosphere, causing it to warm up. This warmth is then transferred to the air immediately above the ground through conduction and convection, creating a temperature gradient with the surface being warmer than the higher altitudes.
Explain two ways that earths atmosphere gets heated?
by convection and conduction
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
What heats the lower atmosphere?
The lower atmosphere is primarily heated by the sun's radiation. As sunlight enters the atmosphere, it warms the Earth's surface, which then emits heat energy back into the atmosphere. This process creates a temperature gradient, with warmer air near the surface and cooler air at higher altitudes.
When heated earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
infrared radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. This process helps trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.
Is the earth heated by the sun?
it is heated by conduction by the earths atmosphere
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere

What increases enthalpy in the air molecules of the earths atmosphere?
the air being heated by the sun
Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?
Yes, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by solar energy. Sunlight penetrates the atmosphere and warms the surface of the Earth. This heat is then radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to its overall temperature.
Earths atmosphere is heated mainly by what?
The sun as it is the most powerful heat source in our solar system.
What is the glowing trail that results when a meteroid burns up in earths atmosphere?
Air heated to incandescence.
Why spacecraft get hot while enter into the earths atmosphere?
A spacecraft has to work against the air friction when it enters our atmosphere. Thus it gets heated a
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
What is the ground heated by?
The ground is heated by the sun's rays penetrating the Earth's atmosphere and warming the surface. The heat is absorbed by the ground and retained, which contributes to the overall temperature of the Earth's surface.
What is the glowing trail that results when a meteorite burns up earths atmosphere?
It is heated ionised air and matter from the meteorite.
