Radiant heat needs no medium, it is nothing more than long wavelength light... infrared light as a matter of fact. This is the heat you get on your skin when standing out in the noon day Sun. Further, as the meteorologist indicated, a lot of Earth's heat comes from absorbed electro magnetic energy from the Sun that is turned into lower frequency, infrared energy that is radiated back into the atmosphere.
The heat requiring a medium is convection and conduction heat. Convection is where the air moves about distributing the heat it contains. Your central house heater does this when its fan blows. Conduction is where the heat is transferred in solids, like between the burner of your electric stove and the bottom of the fry pan on top of that burner.
The sun's radiation heat to the surface of the entire Earth is approximately 2,500 times greater than the heat coming from the Earth's interior. This is due to the immense energy output of the sun compared to the relatively smaller amount of heat generated within the Earth.
when earth absorbs the heat coming from the sunthere is too much moisture in the air3.when the clouds reflect the heat back to the space
The Earth gets most of its heat from the sun. Solar radiation warms the surface of the Earth, which in turn heats up the atmosphere. Additionally, heat from the Earth's core, known as geothermal heat, also contributes to the overall temperature of the planet.
The Earth gets its heat and light from the Sun. The Sun emits vast amounts of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, including heat and light, which reaches Earth through space. This energy is essential for supporting life on our planet.
The sun sends electromagnetic energy to Earth, primarily in the form of sunlight. This energy is essential for life on Earth as it provides heat and light for various biological processes and sustains ecosystems.
Heat transfer from the sun is called radiation. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of sunlight that carries heat to Earth.
No, the Earth and the Sun are not in thermal contact in the traditional sense. The Sun emits electromagnetic radiation which carries heat and light to the Earth through space. The Earth absorbs this radiation and warms up as a result.
Electro magnetic waves eg:-light,UV,heat
The sun is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, and the sun's heat carries those atoms with it.
Heat from the sun transfers to Earth through radiation.
The process that Earth receives heat from the sun is called radiation.
The heat of the sun reaches the earth by radiation, E = hf =hc/w.
the sun transfer the heat to earth by radiation of heat
Yes, while the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon carries on orbiting the Earth, as it is not as affected by the distant gravity of the Sun as it is by the nearer gravity of Earth.
No. The moon reflects the sun's light and the earth is heated and lite by the sun.
where on the earth is heat energy from the sun the strongest
The sun warms the earth. The heat (energy) from the earth then heats the air.
