Infrared radiation from the sun will soak into the lizard's skin and warm him up.
Internal heat.
The heat and light emitted from the sun comes from the nuclear reactions that occur on it.
The high latent heat of water.
In the core of the star, the heat then spreads out to the surface and is emitted as EM radiation
The ground and air are warmest at that time of day. This heat fuels the storms that produce tornadoes.
A cold blooded reptile basking on a warm rock is being warmed by the sun's heat.
heat
Because melting occur at high temperature; at this temperature bonds between particles are weaker.
In a vivarium. A glass tank filled with the right sand, a basking post of wood, and food. Depending of what the age of the lizard depends on the size of the tank. A juvenile bearded dragon would be ok in a 20 gallon long tank. But after a year get a bigger tank. Make sure you have all the requirements for this lizard tho. Here's the basic requirements, tank, sand, basking post( wood does quiet well), crickets, fruit and veggies, and a uv heat lamp and uva fluorescent lamp. That's it!
Reptiles like high steady body temperatures just as mammals and birds do, however, and this means they have sophisticated ways to manage flows of heat between their bodies and the environment. One common way they do this is to use blood flow within the body to facilitate heat uptake and retard heat loss. A lizard basking in the sun, for example, ramps up its cardiac output. In this way, heat is transferred rapidly from the warm skin, to the body, and the body heats rapidly. Once the lizard has stopped basking, its cardiac output declines, retaining heat within the body so that the body cools slowly. In this way, a lizard can minimize the time it spends soaking up heat, and maximizes the time it can spend doing other essential things, like looking for food and mates or defending territories.
Usually between the ages of six months and a year.
About 10-12 inches above the basking area.

Since lizards are reptiles, they are cold blooded and need heat to survive.
