How is convection alike in liquids and gases?
Convection in alike in both liquids and gases as, in both of them, the heated molecules being lighter rise upwards and the cooler molecules take their place.
In what way are liquids and gases alike?
Liquids and Gases are both matter, and are not solids.
How are gases and liquids alike?
liquids and gases both have an Indefinite shape. nd some liquids turn into gases with heat.
How is the transfer of energy in a pan of hot water similar to the transfer of energy in the sun's convection zone?
In both cases, heat is transferred via convection.
When heat travels by conduction or convention it has to travel?
Heat conduction (or thermal conduction) is the transfer of internal energy by microscopic diffusion and collisions of particles or quasi-particles within a body due to a temperature gradient.Convective heat transfer, often referred to simply as convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids. Convection is usually the dominant form of heat transfer in liquids and gases. Although often discussed as a distinct method of heat transfer, convective heat transfer involves the combined processes of conduction (heat diffusion) and advection (heat transfer by bulk fluid flow).So heat must travel by diffusion, movement of fluids, or both; concerning conduction and convection.

Liquids and gases exert a buoyant force?
Both liquid and gas
Is gases hotter than liquids?
Not necessarily. Both liquids and gases can exist over a wide range of temperatures.
Gases can be squashed compressedbut solids cannot?
Flow. Gases and liquids can both modify their shapes.
How is the transfer of energy in a pan of hot water similar to the transfer of energy in the sun's convection zone?
In both cases, heat is transferred via convection.
How are gases liquids and gases different?
Though both can act as fluids liquids are a different and much cooler state of matter. Gases must first become liquids before they can become solids.
What properties is shared by solids liquids and gases?
Common properties of liquids and gases: (i) Both do not have a specific shape. (ii) Both are compressible. (iii) In both the states ,substances can flow. That is why they are called fluids.

What is the compressibility of a fluid?
What kind of fluid, liquid or gas? Gases are compressible, liquids pretty much are not. (And yes, both gases and liquids are fluids; the word "fluid" comes from the same root word that gives us "flow," which both gases and liquids are capable of doing.)
What is the same about convection and conduction?
Both are modes of heat transfer
