It's primarily due sun rays falling on earth, secondarily by green house effect, and then there are other minor factors that contribute too, some being man-made which now is becoming more dominant.

How can fog form when its really cold?
Fog forms when the air has a high relative humidity, the water vapour condenses to form very small droplets, which remain suspended in the thermal currents of the air. This occurs when the air temperature, is above the freezing temperature of the water. Below this temperature, the water freezes and fall to the ground to form Frost. At sub-zero temperatures, the air is very dry.
As moist air rises its temperature will what?
The air temperature rises when particles in the air begin to move faster. The energy of the motion of particles is called thermal energy.
How does the temperature of the air affect the amount of humidity that you feel How does the air's temperature also influence the form of precipitation that falls?
The higher the temperature of the air the higher the amount of humidity you feel. Also the colder the airs temperature it can cause precipitation such as hail, snow, and sleet rather then just rain.
What is the dew point?
The dew point is the temperature at which the air will become completely saturated. It is determined by the amount of moisture in the air, and the temperature. Fog will form when the temperature is close to the dew point.Air conditioning is the perfect control system to maintain a steady atmospheric humidity in a unit. The atmospheric humidity is the quantity of water contained in the air in the form of vapours. When the amount of moisture held by air has reached the maximum by a giving temp, the air is said to b saturated and it is also called 'dew point'It is the temperature of air at which the air can no longer contain all the moisture in it, and the moisture precipitates out as dew.The definition of the word dew point is "the atmospheric temperature below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form."
What is the dew point and what happens when it falls below the dew point?
The Dew Point is the temperature at which the air is at 100% Relative Humidity. If the temperature fall below the Dew Point, then there is more moisture in the air than it can hold, and water condenses in the form of dew, mist, rain, etc.
Where do tropical air masses form?
air formed in regions where the temperature is warm.
What is the air temperature when it snows or sleets?
The air temperature needed for frozen precipitation to form is 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
What temperature do ice storms form at?
they form when you have extremly cold and moist air.
What 3 things make a hurricane form?
air temperature water temperature wind
What should the air temperature be for the convection currents to form?
has to be cold
What is the temperature when a thunderstorm occurs?
Thunderstorms do not form at any particular temperature, but generally speaking the warmer and moister the air is at and near ground level the more likely it is that a thunderstorm will form. Thunderstorms form when lifted air parcels end up warmer than the air surrounding them.
What form of precipitation will fall when the air temperature is above freezing?
Rain.

How do you decrease air temperature in the room without use ac and window?
If you use a fan or some form of air circulation it will decrease the feel of the temperature though it may not decrease the actual temperature.
Why does dew form?
temperature goes down at night and as temperature decrease the air can hold less water vapor/moisture
How does temperature effect water tornadoes?
Water tornadoes, properly called waterspouts, form best when the water temperature is higher than the air temperature.
