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.

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.
Which term best describes how the earth's atmosphere is heated?
m
Is it a condition in which the upper regions of the atmosphere are warmer than the lower regions?
No, typically the upper atmosphere is colder than the lower atmosphere. This is because the lower regions of the atmosphere are heated by the Earth's surface, while the upper atmosphere is heated by solar radiation. This temperature difference contributes to the formation of weather patterns and circulation in the atmosphere.
Why is the atmosphere is heated cheifly by radition from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation?
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface because the Earth's surface absorbs solar energy and emits it as infrared radiation. This infrared radiation is then trapped by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing the atmosphere to be heated. Direct solar radiation contributes to heating the Earth's surface, which in turn warms the atmosphere through convection and radiation.
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 increases enthalpy in the air molecules of the earth atmosphere?

What increases enthalpy in the air molecules of the Earth's atmosphere?
the air being heated by the sun
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 ozonosphere?
conduction
Which layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earth?
Stratosphere
How air get heated in atmosphere?
air gets heated with carben dioxid and the rays of the sun
Is the earth's atmosphere heated directly by a planet or a star?
Earth is heated by the sun, which is a star.
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.
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.
What is a bright streak of light in the sky caused by the entry into earths atmosphere of a meteroroid?
It's simply dust and ice particles being heated - by friction, as the meteorite travels through the Earth's atmosphere.
Why is the atmosphere heated more from below?
The atmosphere is more heated from below because the air is thicker the farther down you go, and so it traps the heat in the air.
