Answer:
Conduction, radiation and convection all play a role in moving heat between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. ... Conduction directly affects air temperature only a few centimeters into the atmosphere. During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction.

Since air is a poor conductor, most energy transfer by conduction occurs right near Earth's surface. ...
