No, weathering is the process or wearing rock and similar things down.
The sun is not considered an agent of weathering. Weathering refers to the process of breaking down rocks and minerals on the Earth's surface, which is primarily caused by factors like water, wind, and temperature changes. The sun's energy can contribute to weathering indirectly by causing temperature changes that lead to expansion and contraction of rocks, but it is not a direct agent of weathering.
Frost is an agent of physical weathering. When water freezes in cracks in rocks, it expands and exerts pressure on the surrounding rock, causing it to break apart.
False. The most important agent of chemical weathering is water, through processes such as hydration, dissolution, and oxidation. Abrasion is a physical weathering process caused by friction and impacts between rock surfaces.
Acid precipitation is an agent of chemical weathering. It occurs when rain, snow, or fog has a high acidic content due to pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which can cause rocks to break down and deteriorate.
Acid precipitation is an agent of chemical weathering. When acidic rainfall interacts with certain types of rocks, it can dissolve minerals and cause the rocks to break down over time.

what are the agents of weathering

the nature of the material weathered (shape, size, composition) the nature of the weathering agent the frequency of the weathering agent the properties of the surrounding environment
Unloading acts as a weathering agent by breaking bedrock into smaller pieces. This increases the surface area along which chemical reactions can occur, which eventually leads to weathering.
If you drop a rock and it breaks into pieces, then that is an act of mechanical weathering.
Water
by scratching the rocks
Do not visit places you do not want to contribute to the weathering of and do not burn any fuels.
