The sun
Heat energy.
The part of the atmosphere is called the ionosphere. When energy from the sun strikes gas molecules in this layer, it causes them to become ionized and emit light, creating phenomena like the auroras.
Convection: Warm air rises and cool air sinks, creating vertical movement of energy. Conduction: Energy is transferred through direct contact between the atmosphere and Earth's surface. Radiation: Solar energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and re-emitted as infrared radiation.
The kinetic energy of the space shuttle is converted into thermal energy due to friction with the Earth's atmosphere during reentry. This intense heat causes the surrounding air to glow and create the fiery appearance.
earth's rotation
Wind energy is caused by the movement of air in the Earth's atmosphere, driven by the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. This creates differences in air pressure, leading to the movement of air molecules, which can be harnessed by wind turbines to generate electricity.

Static electricity, caused by the movement of the atmosphere.
Solar energy
Yes, the energy generated by the movement of molecules is called heat energy. This movement causes the molecules to vibrate and collide, which produces thermal energy that we perceive as heat.
