First AnswerThe sun radiated heat to the earth and that would be conduction The Above Answer Is A Scorcher The process of heat transfer known as conduction involves direct physical contact. So, if the sun were in direct contact with the earth, we would all be fried to an instantaneous crisp. What the means is that there must be another method of transfer, and that is called radiation. Radiation:">Radiation:">Radiation:Electromagnetic waves that directly transport ENERGY through space. Sunlight is a form of radiation that is radiated through space to our planet without the aid of fluids or solids. The energy travels through nothingness! Just think of it! The sun transfers heat through 93 million miles of space. Because there are no solids (like a huge spoon) touching the sun and our planet, conduction is not responsible for bringing heat to Earth. Since there are no fluids (like air and water) in space, convection is not responsible for transferring the heat. Thus, radiation brings heat to our planet.

The sun's light creates radiation heating through transparent materials (such as the windows of a car). The reason this heats up the car to ridiculous levels, instead of leaving it the same temperature as the outside, is because the enclosed space means the heat can't disperse out through other heat transfer methods like convection.

Absorption, the car holds in the heat, and the glass lets it in easier! And it doesn't help to have a black car!!!
