Heat being transferred from the sun to earth is an example of which process convection expansion radiation or conduction?

radiation


Convection and radiation?

the process by which heat is transfered by the movement of molecules in liquids and gases is known as convection...eg-boiling of water


Is a curling iron conduction convection or radiation?

According to Wikipedia, convection is a heat transfer proces that requires the presence of something to transfer that heat, but it is a process that happens in fluids. Conduction is transfer of heat from a hot object to a less hot object, in this case from a hot curling iron to your hair. Radiation heat transfer is by its nature different from convection in that it does NOT require a medium. Since we are not talking about fluids or about heat transfer without the help of an medium, the process you are looking for is conduction


Is barbecuing radiation convection or conduction?

Barbecuing, depending on what specific process it is referring to, could be either radiation, convection, or conduction. Radiation is when energy is released in the form of a photon, so the flames of the barbecue (light energy) are a form of radiation. Conduction is when energy is transferred through contact, or collision, therefore, the things you are cooking on the barbecue, are being heated through conduction with the metal. Convection is when energy travels through energy-containing particles (other than photons), so the steam rising from the coals is convection currents.


Which process conduction convection or radiation is used to remove heat from car raditor?

Its actually conduction - to the air passing through (due to the fan ... or the forward velocity of the car).

What are 3 methods of heat transfer?

Heat (or thermal) energy is kinetic energy due to motion of atoms and molecules. It is energy that is in the process of being transferred from one object to another because of their temperature difference

Which process transfers thermal energy by contact?

This proess is called conduction. The other processes are convection and radiation. Convection is the transfer of energy through movement, such as boiling water. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through a medium or space, such as the sun heating the earth.

What is Convection and conduction and radiation?

Conduction:- Conduction is the transfer heat from a hotter to a colder body by vibrating. Convection:- Is the main heat transfer mechanism in fluids. Radiation:- Radiation is the process of particles transferring heat through matter or space.


What kind of relationship do radiation conduction and convection have?

they all come and are connected from the sun, they process it through the suns energy.


How is earth atmosphere warmed evenly?

Energy is transferred between the earths surface and the atmosphere via conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through contact with neighboring molecules.

Is conduction convection or radiation the way in which the mantle circulates?

The way the mantle circulates is through the process of convection. It refers to the transfer of heat from the Earth's core to the surface.


What is the methods of heat transfer?

Heat can be transferred in 3 ways: Conduction, or through direct contact, Convection, or transfer of heat through a fluid, or Radiation, or heat transfer through space in the form of electromagnetic waves.

What is the process where matter loses heat energy?

I believe it is called "Cooling" and it involves some or all of - radiation, conduction and convection.
