A small part of the heating of the atmosphere is directly from the sun. A lot of heating near the surface is done through conduction from land or water that has been warmed by the sun.

Is the earths atmosphere heated by solar energy?

Yes, the Earth's atmosphere is heated by solar energy. Sunlight penetrates the atmosphere and warms the surface of the Earth. This heat is then radiated back into the atmosphere, contributing to its overall temperature.


What heats the lower atmosphere?

The lower atmosphere is primarily heated by the sun's radiation. As sunlight enters the atmosphere, it warms the Earth's surface, which then emits heat energy back into the atmosphere. This process creates a temperature gradient, with warmer air near the surface and cooler air at higher altitudes.
