Heat transfer within the atmosphere occurs via all three modes of heat transfer:Conduction - as the air contacts existing heat sources. These might be surfaces that have been heated previously viaabsorptionof solar radiation or from chemical reactions
Convection - as warm air mixes with cold air as air currents move the air around and as buoyancy effects cause warm air to rise and cooler air to sink.
Radiation - much of the air is composed of heat absorbing molecules such as water vapor. Solar radiation is absorbed by these molecules, causing them to warm up.

Which layer of the atmosphere is furthest from earths surface?
Cirrus clouds are very high in the atmosphere making then furthest from the Earth's surface. They are very thin and wispy in appearance.
What natural warming of both earth lower atmosphere and the earths surface is the blank effect?
greenhouse effect
What happens to objects that enter the earths atmosphere?
the objects which enter the earths atmosphere are being pulled down towards the earths surface due to the earths gravity. And so it leads to falling falling of large objects from the space on the surface of the earth.
Why is earths atmosphere so different from those of mars and Venus?
Venus' surface conditions are different because of the atmosphere that venus has. Its atmosphere is mostly Co2 which is a greenhouse gas. This greenhouse gas allows the suns warmth to penetrate to the surface, but is unable to reflect back out into space. Therefor The heat is trapped between the atmosphere and the surface. Because of this the surface temperature of the Venus is a sweltering 860 degrees Fahrenheit.
Which of earths sphere includes the oceans ground water lakes and glaciers?
The energy exchanges between space , the atmosphere, and earths surface produce
What is the layer of earths atmosphere farthest away from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
What is the moisture that covers the earths surface?
the atmosphere
Which of does the atmosphere exert pressure on?
the earths surface.
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere
What moves water between the earths surface and the atmosphere and back again?
The process of evaporation moves water from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere, where it condenses into clouds. Precipitation, such as rain or snow, returns water from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. This cycle is known as the water cycle.
What is the layer of the atmosphere farthest from earths surface?
Thermosphere, it is also the atmosphere with the highest temperatures.
When is water moved from the atmosphere to earths surface?
When it rains or snows.
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.
What percentage of the suns radiation that reaches the earths atmosphere is absorbed by earths surface?
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.
What is a water based material that falls from the atmosphere to the earths surface?
rain
What is the difference between the earths atmosphere and the earths gravity?
The two are completely unrelated.
