Question
you get sunburned because of _______
conduction
radiation
convection
Brief Explanations
Sunburn occurs due to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact, and convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Since the sun's energy reaches the Earth through electromagnetic waves (UV rays are part of this spectrum), radiation is the correct mechanism.
