Why do you keep posting a diagram you know misleads? https://twitter.com/gladfly1/status/1050860861487702018?s=21 …
Make a campfire on a cold day, stand 10 ft away, and measure air temp. Now do the same but build an encclosure around it and measure the air temp. The enclosure will cause a higher temp reading even though it's not a heat source. This shouldn't be so hard for you.

Oh, you think the atmosphere is an enclosure? That's your problem right there, it has no walls. Try this: put a rock next to a fire, let it heat up. Then pour saltwater on it, then blow air on it with a compressor. That's what we observe on Earth.

The atmosphere is absolutely an enclosure... It surrounds the Earth. It's not rigid if that's what you mean. It is a literal enclosure though.pic.twitter.com/eld17BWetr

Would you say that a hot rock laying in the sunshine on the ground is in an enclosure?
-
The rock doesn't surround anything in all sides... So... No? Do you have a point, rambling man?

But you just said that cold air surrounding a body is an enclosure. The stone is surrounded by cold air. Make up your mind!

So the rock laying on the ground is in an enclosure? That was the question, wasn't it?
-
Sorry. Misread your statement. Though you asked if the rock was an enclosure. Yes the rock is an enclosure, out atmosphere. Go stand on the moon and you'll be begging for our atmosphere to enclose you.
