heat transfer to earth from sun by radiation then transfer through earth by conduction(transfer through particles) so as we go down temprature icrease and as we go up 15o metre over sea level temprature decrease by 1 celcius degree

Why does fire always point up?

Heat rises to colder areas.


Why cant convection happen in solids?

Convection is the transfer of heat via the movement of warmer material nearest a source of heat toward colder regions, while colder material moves toward the heat source. Usually, the warmer material moves upward from the heat source (since "heat rises") and then is pushed outward toward colder regions, setting up a circulating current that pushes the colder material sinks downward and toward the heat source. Unlike conduction (where heat is transferred by direct contact with the heat source) or radiation (where the heat source sends out waves of heat), convection requires a circulating "current" -- where material moves or flows within a fluid, such as a liquid or gas. This flow is not possible within a solid -- where the material inside cannot move from place to place. Convection cannot occur in a vacuum, either, since there is no material to flow from one place to another.


Why heat gained and heat loss?

Since heat flows from high temperature region to low temperature region so when a hotter body comes in contect with colder body then hotter body loses heat to colder body until both have same temperature.


Can heat transfer through radiation from colder to hotter body?

Yes, heat DOES transfer from the colder to the hotter body but there is a NET heat transfer from the hotter to the colder body.


Does heat energy flows from colder to hotter?

No heat does not flow from colder to hotter. It flows from hot to cold.

The house is warmer on top because heat rises.


Why you should warm a liquid from below when want to warm a liquid?

because heat rises and when it does it has a chance of the heated molecules to hit the colder ones and transfer heat


Why does cool air rises?

Warm air is less dense than cool air, so it rises upward. As it does so, the fast moving, compressed particles in the air begin to slow down and expand, causing them to cool (since fast-moving particles create heat, and slower-moving particles are colder).

Does melting ice make the water around it warmer or colder?

makes it colder since the ice that is melting is taking the heat in from the water around it to cause it to melt that is why you put ice in your ice water and it gets colder

Does the planet's surface heat evenly?

no, the uneven heating is what causes wind. some of the air is heated faster and thus rises and the colder, lower air moves in to take its place
