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
What are 3 forms of energy you get from the sun?
Radiation, conduction and convection
What are examples conduction convection and radiation?
example of conduction is heating a metal rod. the heat transmits without the movement of particles. convection is heating water. example of radiation is the heat received by sun. in this case, heat travels through vacuum WITHOUT heating the space between the sun and the Earth.
Heat being transferred from the sun to earth is an example of which process convection expansion radiation or conduction?
radiation
How does thermal energy travel through space from Sun to Venus?
Due to the vacuum of space there is no convection or conduction. Energy is transported by photons from the Sun to Venus (radiation).
Is the sun able to use conduction?
god

What energy is being used to get a sun tan?
conduction
Why does the energy from the sun travel to earth by radiation instead of by covection or conduction?
The sun moves through the electromagnetic waves. Conduction and Convection transfers energy between differences in density.
Is the earth heated by the sun?
it is heated by conduction by the earths atmosphere
What are 3 forms of energy you get from the sun?
Radiation, conduction and convection
Witch form of energy allows you to feel the warmth of the sun?
Conduction
How is earth's surface heated by the sun?
it is heated by conduction by the earths atmosphere
What is the way the sun's energy is absorbed by the earths surface and warms the earth?
the answer is conduction
Why earth is heated by the sun through radiation and not by convection or conduction?
The space between Earth and the Sun is mostly empty (emptier than most vacuums in Earth laboratories, in any case).Convection and conduction require the presence of atoms.
What are 2 ways the earths atmosphere get heated?
by the sun, and global warming
