Is it true the heat from the sun reaches earth through convection?
No that is not true, heat from the Sun does not reach the Earth by means of convection.
Is air a fluid why isn't convection responsible for transferring heat to earth from the sun?
Air is a fluid. Convection does not transfer heat from the sun to Earth because most of the intervening space is a vacuum.
Does radiation heat the earth through convection?
Yes. Radiation waves given off by the sun, heat the Earth through convection. Convection is the movement of heat transfer through liquids or gases, as seen in this example.
How do you know that heat is transferred from the sun to earth by radiation?
It cannot be transmitted by conduction nor convection because there is no material connection between the sun and the Earth. Conduction and convection need a medium through which to travel, and since the space between the Earth and the Sun is considered a vacuum, they cannot occur. However, radiation does not require a medium through which to travel. It can travel through a vacuum, and therefore space. Therefore, it's the only surviving option for heat transmission.
Heat being transferred from the sun to earth is an example of which process convection expansion radiation or conduction?
radiation

No that is not true, heat from the Sun does not reach the Earth by means of convection.
The heat from the sun reaches Earth through convection true or false?
That statement is false. The heat from the sun does NOTreach the Earth through convection.
Which of the following is NOT an example of convection?
Earth receiving heat from the sun.

How is the heat transferred inside earth?
by 3 wayes:1/Convection Heat from core2/Radiation from the sun

Would there still be convection in the oceans if earth stopped getting energy from the sun?
There are other sources of heat in the oceans besides the sun.. Most are underwater magma or gas outlets. However, the majority of heat in the oceans does come from the sun. Heat is necessary for convection to occur. There is a possibility for localized convection due to the alternate heat sources, but most, if not all convection would cease without the sun.

Is heat transfer convection why or why not?
Heat transfer is accomplished often on earth and other planets and the stars by convection, but there are other ways of heat transfer. Heat is transferred by radiation as the sun to earth, and sensible heat is transferred by conduction, simply being in contact.
Does heat reach us from the sun by convection?
Heat from the sun reaches Earth by radiation. Convection involves air movement, so heat from a forced air furnace would be an example of convection, as would heat in a convection oven which is basically a regular oven with a fan to distribute the heat more evenly.
