Question
energy from the sun reaches the earth through a type of energy transfer known as... la energia del sol llega a la tierra a través de un tipo de transferencia de energia conocida como... radiation absorption conduction convection
Energy transfer from the Sun to Earth occurs via radiation. Radiation is energy transfer through electromagnetic waves (like sunlight) that can travel through a vacuum (space has no air). Absorption is when a material takes in energy. Conduction is energy transfer through direct contact (like heat in a metal rod). Convection is energy transfer through fluid (liquid or gas) movement (like hot air rising). Since space is a vacuum and sunlight reaches Earth through it, radiation is the correct process.
