Best Answer

Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat energy through particles in contact with one another. Because heat energy is essentially kinetic energy, the particle with more kinetic energy collides with the particle with less kinetic energy, speeding it up and therefore causing it to absorb some of the heat energy from the first particle.

How is thermal energy in earths atmosphere transfered by conduction?

The main method of thermal transference in the atmosphere is convection, conduction would only account for a fraction. Conduction works via hotter molecules transferring their energy to cooler molecules via the friction of collisions between molecules. As air has a very low molecular density conduction is poor therefore most atmospheric models will ignore it.
