Answer: PLEASE LOOK DOWN
Explanation:
Sun is at a temperature of 3000 K, at such a high temperature, it emits heat energy in the short infrared region and our atmosphere is transparent to this energy. However this energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface and its temperature increases. Earth's temperature goes to 300K and at this temperature, Earth emits radiations in the long Infrared region and this energy gets absorbed by C02 and water vapor present in the atmosphere. The air in contact with Earth's surface becomes warmer than the air aloft, causing thermal convection. Earth's surface also conducts heat towards the interior of Earth but it's impact remain remain only in the upper couple of meters. The energy falling over Earth and water results in differences in temperatures at various altitudes and atmospheric conditions, leading to horizontal movements
So for atmosphere, heating is from the below and is in the firm of conduction, convection and radiation. It is due to this reason, air temperature decreases with height upto tropopause.
