What else can I help you with?
Heat we feel feel from the sun is what?
The heat we feel from the sun is infrared radiation. This type of electromagnetic radiation is given off by the sun and warms the Earth's surface when absorbed.
How is the heat we feel from the sun transferred to us: through conduction, convection, or radiation?
The heat we feel from the sun is transferred to us primarily through radiation.
When you feel the warmth of the Sun on your face what type of heat transfer are you experiencingng?
You are experiencing heat transfer through radiation when you feel the warmth of the Sun on your face. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves.
If you put your hand over a stove is that radiation?
No that is just a hand over the stove. If the stove element is turned on and you place your hand close to the element you will feel heat. This is heat radiation, the same as when you feel the heat from the sun, also heat radiation.
What kind of heat is the sun?
Radiant heat I assume you mean the heat emitted by the Sun rather than the heat of the Sun itself.
Why do we feel the heat of sun?
We feel the heat of the sun because it emits energy in the form of radiation, including infrared radiation, that warms our skin when it absorbs it. This radiation penetrates the Earth's atmosphere and reaches the surface, where it heats up objects it comes into contact with, including our bodies.
What radiation from the sun makes us feel warm?
The radiation from the sun that makes us feel warm is primarily infrared radiation. While the sun emits a broad spectrum of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light and ultraviolet rays, it is the infrared radiation that is responsible for the heat we feel on our skin. This thermal radiation is absorbed by our bodies, leading to a warming sensation.
What are some examples of heat transfer by radiation?
Examples of heat transfer by radiation include the warmth you feel from the sun, the heat emitted by a campfire, and the energy radiated by a light bulb.
Which type of energy is it when we feel heat from the sun?
Radiant energy (light) - the heat you feel is "infra red" radiation. Your eyes can not see this wavelength of light but there are sensors (thermal sensors) in your skin that can feel it.
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.
Why can you feel the heat of the sun even though it is so far away?
Even though the sun is far away, it emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of sunlight that travels through space and heats up the Earth's atmosphere. When this radiation reaches the Earth, it converts to heat energy upon striking the Earth's surface, making us feel the warmth of the sun.
What is heat transfer from the sun called?
Heat transfer from the sun is called radiation. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of sunlight that carries heat to Earth.
