How is the atmosphere near the earth's surface warmed?
Through conduction: the transfer of energy from matter touching another matter.
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.
Air in the what is warmed by heat from the earths surface?
troposphere
When air and atmosphere is warmed what does air pressure do?
decreases i think
The lower atmosphere is directly warmed from?
It's warmed from the surface. Shortwave radiation passes through the atmosphere, or at least about half of it, where it reaches the ground and is absorbed. The ground re-emits it at a longer wavelength, thereby warming the lower atmosphere.
How is earth atmosphere warmed evenly?
Energy is transferred between the earths surface and the atmosphere via conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through contact with neighboring molecules.

Is a reptile warmed by conduction?
Although conduction probably does some warming, reptiles are mostly warmed by thermal radiation.
How the atmosphere heated?
A small part of the heating of the atmosphere is directly from the sun. A lot of heating near the surface is done through conduction from land or water that has been warmed by the sun.

Why is earths atmosphere warmed un evenly by the sun?
The sun can only shine on part of the earth's surface at any one time. This is why we have day and night in a rolling approach as the earth rotates.
What causes the air in atmosphere to be unevenly warmed?
The suns energy
When air in the atmosphere is warmed air pressure?

When the earths warmed after the ice age a major change happened in a way people?
