If you're talking about the basic water cycle, starting in the ocean, water evaporates into vapor (Evaporation) rising up until it reaches it's the dew point, then the water condenses and travel towards higher ground, sometimes it travels as far as sea level ground (Condensation), when it reaches that heavy point where the clouds is too heavy to carry the water it drops taking about 10-15 minutes from the clouds to reaches the surface of the Earth if clouds are in the strato zone (Precipitation).

because it is heated by the earth's surface.
What is the glowing trail that results when a meteroid burns up in earths atmosphere?
Air heated to incandescence.
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation emitted by Earth?
The atmosphere is heated chiefly by radiation from Earth's surface rather than by direct solar radiation because about 50 percent of the solar energy is absorbed at Earth's surface. 30 percent is reflected back to space. 20 percent is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere's gases.

by the radiation that is reflected back ar re-radiated by the land or water bodies

How the atmosphere heated?
A small part of the heating of the atmosphere is directly from the sun. A lot of heating near the surface is done through conduction from land or water that has been warmed by the sun.
