Simply put, there are 3 heat transmission phenomenons : convection, conduction and radiation.
The first two are highly dependent of the nature of the material inbetween the two objects, which in this case is nothing at all.
Waves, however, travel accross space and allow heat transmission by radiation.
What else can I help you with?
Does the Energy from the core of the Sun first travel slowly through the convection zone and then much faster through the radiation zone?
No
How long deos it take for heat and light to reach from sun to earth?
8 minutes 19 seconds
Why does the amount of daylight decrease each day?
because the earth spins round on it axis and spins round the sun so when we are at one side of the sun its winter and our country is faced tilted away from the sun and opposite for summer
Why does life on earth require a continuous supply of energy form the sun?
Plants use the light from the sun to make food for themselves. The plants are then eaten by animals, then they are eaten by other animals, etc. The sole source of energy is from the sun.
Were does the energy come from to power the ecosystem in the Mojave desert?
All energy used in and by life on earth comes form the Sun - (excepth those ecosystems round black smokers where the enery is chemical energy form earth processes)
Is it true the heat from the sun reaches earth through convection?
No, the heat from the sun reaches Earth through radiation, not convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids like air or water.
Is a sun a conduction convection or radiation?
The sun primarily transfers energy through radiation. Energy from the sun is released in the form of electromagnetic waves, which travel through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth. Convection and conduction processes occur within the sun itself, as part of its internal energy distribution.
Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction.?
Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun
How is the earth's atmosphere trpping thermal energy radiated by the sun?
convection!
How is solar energy transferred to the sun to the earth?
It is transferred by the energy of photons and heat radiation. Convection doesnt work as there is vacuum between sun and earth.
How is solar energy from the Sun transferred to the Earth?
It is transferred by the energy of photons and heat radiation. Convection doesnt work as there is vacuum between sun and earth.
Why the sun's heat not reach the earth by conduction or conviction?
The sun's heat reaches the Earth through radiation, not conduction or convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light and infrared radiation, which can travel through the vacuum of space to reach us. Conduction and convection require a material medium, which is not present in the vacuum of space.
Why heat cannot reach the earth from the sun by conduction or convection?
Heat from the sun cannot reach the earth through conduction or convection because space is a vacuum and does not contain matter to transfer heat. Heat from the sun reaches the earth through radiation, as electromagnetic waves travel through the vacuum of space.
What two processes allow energy generated in the sun to reach the outer layers?
Convection and radiation.
Does heat reach us from the sun by convection?
Heat from the sun reaches Earth by radiation. Convection involves air movement, so heat from a forced air furnace would be an example of convection, as would heat in a convection oven which is basically a regular oven with a fan to distribute the heat more evenly.
Convection currents carry thermal energy from the sun to Earth?
No. Convection requires a medium to carry thermal energy from one place to another. There is no or not enough of any material in space to accomplish this. Radiation will carry thermal energy from the sun to the Earth.
Is heat from the sun transmitted to the earth by convection?
No, heat from the sun is transmitted to the Earth through radiation. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids like air or water. In the case of the sun, the heat travels through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth.
