Infrared radiation from the sun will soak into the lizard's skin and warm him up.
The high latent heat of water.
Heat transfer through empty space is known as radiation. It does not require a medium (such as air or water) for heat to travel and can occur in a vacuum. This type of heat transfer is how the sun's energy reaches us on Earth.
Friction between the space shuttle and the atmosphere generates heat during reentry. The high speeds at which the shuttle travels cause air molecules to compress and heat up, leading to the fiery heat shield protecting the spacecraft.
The transfer of heat through space by radiation is known as thermal radiation. It does not require a medium for heat to travel and can occur in a vacuum. The amount of heat transferred depends on the temperature and surface properties of the objects involved.
It's the only way heat could reach us. It comes via electromagnetic radiation, discovered theoretically by James Clerk Maxwell. It can't come by conduction or convection because space is empty, there is no air there.
Opening the windows in a hot room is convection, as it involves the transfer of heat through the movement of air. A lizard basking in the sun is radiation, where heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves from the sun to the lizard. Putting ice on a sprained ankle is conduction, as heat is transferred from the body to the ice through direct contact.
Opening the windows in a hot room is an example of convection, as it allows cooler air to circulate and replace the hot air inside. A lizard basking in the sun demonstrates radiation, as it absorbs heat directly from the sun's rays. Putting ice on a sprained ankle is an example of conduction, where the cold temperature of the ice transfers heat away from the injured area, reducing swelling and pain.

A cold blooded reptile basking on a warm rock is being warmed by the sun's heat.
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!
Because melting occur at high temperature; at this temperature bonds between particles are weaker.
Usually between the ages of six months and a year.
About 10-12 inches above the basking area.
To beat the heat.

No, heat transfer occurs due to a temperature difference between two substances. If both substances are at the same temperature, there is no temperature gradient to drive heat transfer, so no heat transfer will occur.
