What else can I help you with?
If thermometer is placed in sun light then which thing it will read the temperature of air or of sun or surrounding?
A thermometer placed in sunlight will measure the temperature of the air surrounding it, not the temperature of the sun itself. The sun's rays can heat up the air, which in turn affects the temperature measured by the thermometer.
Is heat from the sun transmitted to the earth by convection?
No, heat from the sun is transmitted to the Earth through radiation. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids like air or water. In the case of the sun, the heat travels through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth.
Does the sun keep the earth warm?
The sun warms the earth. The heat (energy) from the earth then heats the air.
What causes the movement of the air over the earth's surface?
Heat from the Sun.
What causes the Sun's energy in Earth's atmosphere to produce winds?
When the act of the Earth's surface absorbing the sun's energy, it turns light into heat. The heat on the Earth's surface warms the air above it causing the air over the equator to get warmer than the surface air.
What does the carbon dioxide in the air do to the sun?
Nothing. Earth's atmosphere does not affect the sun. It does, however, cause Earth's atmosphere to retain more of the heat from the sun.
What is the transfer process of heat from sun to earth?
Heat travels from the sun by a process called radiation.Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. When infrared rays strike a material, the molecules in that material move faster. In addition to the sun, light bulbs, irons, and toasters radiate heat. When we feel heat around these items, however, we are feeling convection heat (warmed air molecules) rather than radiated heat since the heat waves strike and energize surrounding air molecules.
Why can you feel the suns heat when there is no air between the sun and the earth?
The sun's heat reaches the Earth in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which can travel through the vacuum of space. When this radiation reaches Earth, it gets absorbed by the atmosphere and the Earth's surface, warming it up. This is why you can feel the sun's heat even though there is no air between the sun and the Earth.
Does the sun's energy heat the air close to earth?
Not directly. The sun's energy heats the ground, which in turn heats the air above it.
What are the 4 types of boundaries on earth?
Land,Water,Air and Sun(Heat)
Is Air from the thermosphere Warmed by heat from earth surface?
Only partially, by warm winds. Mainly radiation from our Sun gives us heat.
This process distributes the heat from the sun around the earth?
The process that distributes the heat from the sun around the earth is called convection. As the sun heats the earth's surface, the air above it also warms up and rises. This creates a cycle where warm air rises, cools down, and then descends, helping to distribute heat around the globe.
