How does a thermos flask reduce heat loss by convection?
A vacuum between two glass sheets will greatly reduce heat loss through convection, and also through conduction. The fact that the glass is coated (to convert it to a mirror) also reduces the loss by radiation.
Energy that is transmitted primarily through solids?
Conduction :)
Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction?
Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun
How does the transfer of heat differs between conduction and convection?
conduction's heat energy is sometimes transfered between two different objects. But convection's heat energy is transfered through the particles in a liquid or gas move.
Heat moves through liquids and gases by?
Heat moves through liquids and gases through conduction. Heat is thermal energy. It can be transferred from one place to another by radiation, convection and conduction.
Why you create vacuum in thermos flask?
This reduces heat transport through conduction and convection.

What are the methods of heat transfer?
convection, conduction and radiation

What is convection conduction?
Conduction is the movement of electricity and/or heat through something. Convection is the transfer of heat through movement in an already heated gas or liquid.
Heat moves through liquids and gases by?
Heat moves through liquids and gases through conduction. Heat is thermal energy. It can be transferred from one place to another by radiation, convection and conduction.
Why can heat travel through space by radiation but not by conduction or convection?
Because conduction and convection require particles to transfer heat. Space is a vacuum (has no particles in it) so convection and conduction cannot occur.
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.
How does water get heat?
Through conduction and convection currents
