Why does earths atmosphere trap energy from the sun?
The atmosphere traps energy from the sun because in our atmosphere are greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane. These three-atom gases absorb the heat rising from the earth's surface.
What drives convection within earths atmosphere?
Uneven heating of the Earths atmosphere and oceans by the sun
