How is the atmosphere being heated?

Answer 1

the earths atmosphere is not heated by the sun. The suns light comes in through the atmosphere. 25% of it is lost through reflection and then 50% is used to heat the surface of the earth, which then makes the Earth warmer, and heats up the atmosphere. This heat is then stored around the earth because of the ozone layer, keeping us warm.

Answer 2

Convection and conduction are means of transferring heat through the atmosphere. Technically radiation is too, but it is the one that doesn't need an atmosphere to travel through - it also travels through space.

Answer 3

1. the reflection off clouds in the Troposphere

2. the reflection off the earth surfaces eg. snow ,water and shiny surfaces
