How is energy transferred through the atmosphere?

Answer 1

1. radiative transport. Photons (light) initially carry all of the energy received by the earth from the sun.
2. conduction. Molecules and atoms collide and thus transfer kinetic energy from one to the next.
3. convection. This is large scale movements of the atmosphere behaving as a fluid, otherwise known as the weather.

Answer 2

One way is light as photons. Energy from the sun. Another type is radio or electromagnetic. Another is magnetic.

Answer 3

through a chain reaction at the sub atomic level of strings
