Would there still be convection in the ocean if the earth stopped getting energy from the sun?

There are other sources of heat in the oceans besides the sun.. Most are underwater magma or gas outlets. However, the majority of heat in the oceans does come from the sun. Heat is necessary for convection to occur. There is a possibility for localized convection due to the alternate heat sources, but most, if not all convection would cease without the sun.

Is a sun a conduction convection or radiation?

The sun primarily transfers energy through radiation. Energy from the sun is released in the form of electromagnetic waves, which travel through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth. Convection and conduction processes occur within the sun itself, as part of its internal energy distribution.


Does convection occur in the core of a star?

No, Convection does not occur in the Core. For example, in the Sun, the convection occurs only after the Radiation zone. In the radiation zone the energy is transported by radiation (ie, by photons). At about 0.8 solar radius the density and temperature are not enough to transport the energy by radiation, so convection sets in.


Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction?

Energy from the sun travels to Earth by radiation because space is a vacuum and there is no medium for convection or conduction to occur. Radiation is the most efficient way for heat to transfer through the vacuum of space.


A circular flow of warmer fluid and cooler fluid is called a?

A convection current, however, this can also occur with gases.
