When the sun heats Earth's atmosphere and surface, the energy from the sun warms the air and land. This causes temperature variations, leading to the movement of air masses and the formation of weather patterns like winds, clouds, and precipitation. Additionally, the heating of the surface drives the water cycle, influencing the distribution of moisture and ultimately affecting our climate.
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.
The process you are referring to is called evaporation. Evaporation occurs when the sun's energy heats up water on the Earth's surface, causing it to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere.

When the sun heats the Earth's water, it evaporates and turns into water vapor. Water vapor rises into the atmosphere where it can eventually condense to form clouds and then fall back to Earth as precipitation. This process is known as the water cycle.
The atmosphere near Earth's surface is heated from below primarily through the process of conduction. This occurs as the Earth's surface absorbs solar radiation and heats up, transferring this heat to the adjacent air molecules through direct contact. As the air warms, it becomes less dense and rises, creating convective currents that distribute the heat throughout the atmosphere.

The earths surface is one of the few planets in our solar system with an atmosphere. Sun penetrates our atmosphere and is trapped in the ozone layer creating a green house effect that heats the planet.
Water is added to the atmosphere through a process called evaporation. This happens when the sun heats up water on the surface of the Earth.

evaporation
The primary source of energy that heats the atmosphere is the Sun. Solar radiation warms the Earth's surface, which in turn heats the lower atmosphere through conduction and convection. Additionally, the atmosphere also retains some heat from the Earth's surface.

The Earth's surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by convection and radiation. As the surface heats up, air in contact with the surface warms up and rises, creating vertical currents of warm air. At the same time, the Earth's surface emits radiation in the form of heat, which is absorbed by the atmosphere.

The sun is the source of energy that heats earth's surface. Radiation from the sun comes through the atmosphere, largely unhindered, and warms the surface of the earth.
