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.
What energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?
the energy transferred to the earth is called, electromagnetic radiation.
How does the wave energy derives its energy from the Sun?
By convention
How can you tell if solar energy has heated Earth or if energy from the sun has transferred to Earth?
Very simply, you can "see" the sun or feel the sun's warmth. Both of these tell you that solar energy from the sun has transferred to earth.
When particles collide energy is transferred from?
By the sun
Is the sun's energy transferred to Earth by radiation?
Yes. Since there is no phjysical material in the space between Sun and Earth, neither conduction nor convection is an option.

How is the energy from the sun transferred from plants animals?
photosyntices Energy from the sun is transferred from plants to animals by the animal consuming the plant.
What energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?
the energy transferred to the earth is called, electromagnetic radiation.
What energy is being used to get a sun tan?
conduction
How does the wave energy derives its energy from the Sun?
By convention

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.
When particles collide energy is transferred from?
By the sun
How energy is transferred from the the sun to plant?
by photosynthesis
Heat being transferred from the sun to earth is an example of which process convection expansion radiation or conduction?
radiation
What are 3 forms of energy you get from the sun?
Radiation, conduction and convection
