Conduction of heat is possible only in case of solids. In solids the atoms have been arranged in array forming lattice pattern. They are held up by metallic bonds. So heat conduction means the vibrational energy is transported from one atom or molecule to the other. But in case of fluids, ie both liquids and gases, there are no such bondage of atoms or molecules. So conduction is not possible, but convection becomes possible as the molecules or atoms they transfer the heat energy by transitory motion.

How are green house gases made?
Gases are made when you heat up solids or liquids. Liquids are made when you cool down gases or heat up solids. Solids are made when you cool down gases or solids. When you heat up solids they make liquids and when you heat up liquids it makes gases. When you heat up gases it makes plasma (plas-mu) but that is very very very very very very hard to make.
What is Heat convention?
It is the process of transfer of heat from one place to other with actual movement of heated particles. Convention of heat take place in fluids and gases .
The heat transfer caused when heated liquids or gases rise is called?
convection
What causes the continuous rising and sinking of the suns gases?
Heat generated at the core.
after atoms and molecules of gases and liquids are heated they move away from the heat . what takes their place?
ions
What when gases lose heat?
When gases lose heat they condensate into liquids.
Greenhouse gases are -trapping gases?
Heat-trapping gases.
What happens to solid liquids and gases when they are heated?
Solids ---heat---> Liquids ---more heat---> gases
Which of the Major gases traps heat?
Heat trapping gases absorb infrared radiation. Three of the major gases that trap heat are carbon dioxide, water vapor and methane.
What is the name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming?
The name given to gases that trap heat and cause global warming is Greenhouse gases.
What atmospheric gases help to heat the earth?
The atmospheric gases carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are all greenhouse gases that help to heat the Earth.
What do you call gases that retain heat within the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases.
What name is given to gases which trap heat from the sun?
They are generally called Greenhouses gases, as greenhouses trap heat into the glass.
How does heat moves through gases?
It moves mainly by radiating through gases.
Which substances can heat travel through by convection?
Fluids, aka liquids and gases.
Why is the specific heat of poly atomic gases is higher than that of mono atomic gases?
Diatomic gases can absorb heat to increase their vibrational and rotational energy in addition to their translational energy. Monatomic gases have no bonds to vibrate or rotate.
The process by which gases hold heat in the atmosphere is called the what?
The Greenhouse Effect. It happens when Greenhouse Gases (CO2) thicken the atmosphere and trap heat.
