The Sun is a source of energy, electromagnetic radiation. When this radiation impinges on a solid or liquid, it causes the atoms of that substance to vibrate more rapidly. The increasing vibration is "heat", their temperature increases.

When does phase changes occur?

When a solid melts or changes to a liquid. When a liquid boils or changes to a gas. or the reverse when a gas condenses to a liquid or a liquid freezes to a solid. Also it is possible for a solid to go directly to a gas without passing through the liquid stage. This is called sublimation and can occur with sulfur when heated, or ice in the winter when the sun shines on it..


Do liquids have melting points?

NO!!! However, on change of physical state;- solid to liquid it is 'melting' liquid to solid it is 'freezing' Similarly liquid to gas it is evaporation/boiling gas to liquid it is condensation. Different substances have different temperature for change of physical state. Water being the scientific standard has; - melting/freezing at 0oC boiling/evaporation at 100oC


In what state of matter is lithium naturally?

Lithium is a solid at room temperature. It turns into a liquid at 453.69 K, and boils at 1615 K.


Hydrogens phase of matter at room temperature?

Gas. Unquestionably. Consider the alternative: Liquid? Solid? Maybe plasma? Liquid and solid hydrogen only produced in near the absolute temperature. Plasma on the other hand requires enormous temperature and pressure (Sun).


What is the physical state of oxygen?

ozone in our atmosphere is a gas. it is a form of oxygen with three oxygen atom instead of two, O3. In our stratosphere, the ozone layer, ozone is very helpful to life on earth because it helps filter out harmful UV rays from the sun. However at ground level it is considered a pollutant. Ozone is also a greenhouse gas. Ozone can be cooled to form a liquid or a solid.
