Troposphere
The first layer of the Earth's atmosphere is called the troposphere, and it is in direct contact with the Earth's surface. This layer is where weather events occur and where most of the Earth's clouds and precipitation are found. Temperature usually decreases with altitude in the troposphere.
About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the 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.
The layer closest to the Earth's surface is the troposphere. It contains most of the atmosphere's mass and is where weather events occur.

Yes. Asteroids can enter earth's atmosphere. In such an event the asteroid will probably strike earth's surface.

No, the earth's atmosphere reflects and absorbs x-rays, so they do not make it to the surface.
The sky is the atmosphere of Earth and any visible part of the universe, as observed from Earths surface.
