As atmosphere is heated below, the air near the earth's surface becomes hot or cold depending upon the surface temperature.The incoming solar radiation is a short wave radiation and it is not absobed by the atmosphere.On the otherhand, the radiation reflected from the earth's surface is a long wave radiation which is easily absorbed by the atmosphere.Thus the air is heated from below along with the earth's surface.That is why as you go up , the temperature falls.Thus the earths's surface is heated first and accordingly the air adjacent to it is also heated.If the surface cools down, the air adjacent to it also becomes cold.
