Using your hands you could use one hand to demonstrate the earth's atmosphere, the other hand could demonstrate heat radiation from the sun passing through the atmosphere. you could then replace your hand for the atmosphere to demonstrate more.

What are the four main jobs of the atmosphere?
It protects us from UV rays and supplies needed air sources plus it stops meteors from entering earth and finally bounces radio waves back at us to give us radio.
What is the movement of water from earth to the atmosphere and back to earth?
Water cycle
Why do clouds lessen the amount of heat received by the earth?
Because the rays of the sun bounces off the clouds and back into space before reaching the surface of the Earth.
Does air pollution effect the earth's atmosphere?
Once it reaches the atmosphere, the rain will become acid rain and fall back down to the earth
What happens to most of the sunlight that reaches Earth?
About 50% is absorbed by Earth's surface, about 25% is reflected by clouds, dust, and gases in the atmosphere, about 20% is absorbed by gases and particles in the atmosphere and about 5% is reflected by the surface back into the atmosphere. Also some absorbed energy is radiated back into the atmosphere.
What are the cause of housing.?
The greenhouse effect is caused when energy from the sun penetrates Earth's atmosphere. Some of the light bounces back and escapes, but the rest is trapped by particles in the air, and that is how Earth's temperature is regulated.

What level of the atmosphere bounces radio waves back to earth and protects us from radiation from the sun?
The Ionisphere bounces radio waves back to earth and regulates the amount of radiation that gets to the lower atmospheres. It all depends on the Sun's activity. The stratosphere is what actually protects us from the UV rays of the sun. The stratosphere creates the ozone layer to keep the UV rays out.
Light energy that is absorbed by Earth's surface is changed into what?
heat, unless it bounces off earth back into space
How can water in the atmosphere cycle back to the surface of the Earth?
Water in the atmosphere precipitates. And in this manner it returns back to earth's surface.

ozone layer

What layer of the earth's atmosphere where the radio communication are reflected back to the earth?
I believe it is the Ionosphere.
Why do clouds lessen the amount of heat received by the earth?
Because the rays of the sun bounces off the clouds and back into space before reaching the surface of the Earth.

What is the ideal radiation budget?
Radiation budget is Earth's atmosphere. The Earth's atmosphere has more solar energy than it radiates back to space.
