Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Earth's atmosphere primarily gets its heat from the Sun, through the process of radiation. The energy from the Sun's radiation is absorbed by the Earth's surface and then transferred to the lower atmosphere through convection, which in turn heats up the rest of the atmosphere through conduction and further convection. The Earth's core does not have a significant effect on the temperature of the atmosphere.
