Most likely one of two things need checking. #1 make sure your fan assembly is working properly. This means that the fan is turning and not sticking or off completely. However in this case you would be experiencing "running hot" while idiling at red lights. #2 Your MAF ( main air flow) it could be clogged or your sensor might be dirty. To see if this is the case, go to your parts store and buy a can of SEAFOAM. It runs about $10 a can. Empty it in your gas tank on E fill up with atleast mid grade gas this time. Run it on the interstate hard for 15-20 minutes or so. Once you get back on street roads if the hard idle has stopped then you will need to get a cleaner spray for the MAF sensor or let a repair shop clean it for you, but it will cost considerably more of course.

The HVAC ( heating, ventilation, air conditioning) servos use engine vacuum to operate, you may have a fairly large vacuum leak in the HVAC system.

sounds like it could be the thermostat ================= The problem is probably in your cooling system. First, check your radiator and see if you have enough coolant. If that's not the problem, check for blockages. How old are your hoses? They may need to be replaced.

Explain how the earth can heat the air by conduction?

To understand this, you need to know how the earth gets heated. It is obvious, by the sun. As the land gets heated, air molecules in contact with the land starts vibrating as it starts gaining energy from the land.(All bodies want to equilibrium with the other body) As one of the molecule starts vibrating because of heat,it starts transferring its heat to the other molecules via conduction. This process finally heats the entire envelop of air , BY CONDUCTION.
