Question

Assertion (A): The troposphere is heated more from below than from above.

Reason (R): The troposphere is heated by the incoming solar energy.

विकल्प

• Both A and Rare true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and Rare true but R does not explain A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

The troposphere is heated more from below because the Earth’s surface absorbs solar energy and then radiates heat, warming the air above it.
So, while solar energy is the source, the troposphere is not directly heated by the incoming solar energy—hence the reason is incorrect.
