Question
heat energy can transfer from the sun to the earth. what type of heat transfer is this? radiation both conduction and convection
Heat transfer from the sun to the earth occurs through radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves. Conduction requires direct contact between materials, and convection involves the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Since there is no direct contact (conduction) or fluid movement (convection) in the space between the sun and the earth, radiation is the correct type of heat transfer.
