Explanation:
The sun's radiation strikes the ground, thus warming the rocks. As the rock's temperature rises due to conduction, heat energy is released into the atmosphere, forming a bubble of air which is warmer than the surrounding air.

The Sun's heat warms the earth. This is due to the core of the sun. The sun is a star and anything near it, it will heat. The earth's atmosphere prevents it from becoming too hot during the day. It absorbs some of the heat and reflects back the others. The absorbed heat from the sun is useful for the earth and prevents it from becoming too cold during the night.
