1. How do radiation, conduction, and convection affect the atmosphere?

2. How does greenhouse effect warm the earth?​

Answer 1

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth's surface. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, some of it is reflected back to space and the rest is absorbed and re-radiated by greenhouse gases. The absorbed energy warms the atmosphere and the surface of the Earth.

Answer 2

1. radiation, conduction and convention all play a roll in moving heat between earth's surface and atmosphere because since air is a poor conductor, most energy transfers by conduction occuring right near the earth's surface. Conduction directly affects air temperature only a few centimeters into the atmosphere. convection works to heat the troposphere. Durring the day, the sun's radiation heats the earth's surface. the land becomes warmer than the air. Air near the Earth's surface is essentially warmed by both radiation and conduction.
