Solution

Dear Student,

Conduction, radiation and convection all play a role in moving heat between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. Since air is a poor conductor, most energy transfer by conduction occurs right near Earth's surface. During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction.
