Defenitely radiation because...
...the definition of radiation is heat energy that moves in rays from the SUN.
The reason why I capitalized SUN is because the word is very important.
All radiation-- and I mean ALL-- has to do with the SUN.
Even nuclear radiation.
So if the SUN is heating up the Earth with its RAYS... it is called radiation.

The primary means of heat transfer inside the sun is convection, with some conduction also taking place.
The only means of heat transfer between the sun and otherthings, such as the earth, is radiation.

What are 3 forms of energy you get from the sun?
Radiation, conduction and convection
Heat being transferred from the sun to earth is an example of which process convection expansion radiation or conduction?
radiation
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 the three forms of heat transfer?
convection conduction and radiation
Is it convection conduction or radiation when the inside of the car heats in the sun?
It is radiation. Sunlight enters the car and heats up material inside.

Does more energy reach us through conduction or radiation?
Most of the solar energy we get comes through radiation. So we get more energy via radiation, than conduction.
What are the three forms of heat transfer?
convection conduction and radiation
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 it convection conduction or radiation when the inside of the car heats in the sun?
It is radiation. Sunlight enters the car and heats up material inside.
What are three ways heat move?
Conduction, Convection and Radiation For example, for conduction you can use a boiling pot of water. For convection you can use a blender. For radiation you can use the sun or another one is your cell phone.
Which process transfers thermal energy by contact?
This proess is called conduction. The other processes are convection and radiation. Convection is the transfer of energy through movement, such as boiling water. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through a medium or space, such as the sun heating the earth.
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.
What are 3 ways in which thremal energy can be transfered?
Heat is transferred through Convection, Conduction, and Radiation. Convection is heat transferred through a liquid medium such as air, as felt from your furnace. Conduction is through a solid medium. One instance of this takes place through the bottom of a cooking pan. Radiation is transferred through a void in the form of low frequency light waves, or infra-red radiation. This can easily be observed by moving in and out of a shadow into the sun. The air temperature around you remains constant, but you instantly feel the heat of the sun. That's from the sun's radiation.
