Answer:
Conduction, radiation and convection all play a role in moving heat between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. Since air is a poor conductor, most energy transfer by conduction occurs right near Earth's surface. ... During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction.

Answer:
The heating of the Earth's atmosphere is the result of absorption of solar radiation by the air. Near the surface of the Earth, the air is dense and it consists of water vapour and dust particles that absorb the heat.
