- Lecture 24: How Is The Lower Atmosphere Heated? (Part 2)



Description:
In this video I will continue to explain how the lower atmosphere heated by our Sun. It turns most of the heating occurs near the surface of the Earth. 48% of the energy of the Sun reaches Earth's surface thus heating the lower part of the lower troposphere. The way this happens is through air warmed by contact with surface, evaporation, and absorbed by greenhouse gases.( Part 2)
