No! Convection would require a medium and there is none such between the sun and the earth - just vacuum.
Heat moves through the Earth by conduction because the solid rock and metal layers of the Earth do not have the ability to flow like fluids in convection. The materials in the Earth's interior are rigid, so heat is transferred through them via conduction, where heat energy is transferred from one particle to another.
In a simple system, energy can be transferred through mechanisms such as conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs through direct contact between objects, while convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids like air or water. Radiation transfers energy through electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight warming the Earth.
Convection takes place through a material medium between source and sink. There isn't any material medium between sun and earth, and we are therefore thankful that radiation exists.
That's easy. The three ways are radiation, convection, and conduction. Radiation heat is transfered by moving through space, convection heat is transfered by movement in general, and conduction is through direct contact. Imagine a ball being passed around. The ball moves through space (radiation), and hits the earth. The earth is heated up, and it touches the air (convection). Since warm air rises, it moves up through the atmosphere to the top, where it cools down and touches the earth again.
Energy in space is mainly transferred through radiation, as there is no medium like air or water for conduction or convection. Electromagnetic radiation, such as light and heat, can travel through the vacuum of space and transfer energy from one place to another. This is how energy from the Sun reaches Earth.
Energy is transferred within the Earth through conduction, convection, and radiation. In the atmosphere, energy is transferred through processes such as convection, advection, and radiation. In the oceans, energy is transferred through currents, waves, and tides, as well as through processes like conduction and convection.
Radiation, Conduction, and Convection.
Energy is transferred through the Earth primarily through conduction. This is when heat energy is transferred from one material to another through direct contact. In the Earth's mantle, however, convection also plays a role in transferring heat and driving processes like plate tectonics.
Energy is transferred in Earth's atmosphere through various processes including conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction involves the transfer of energy through direct contact between molecules, convection transfers energy through the movement of air masses, and radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves such as sunlight.
by Convection
Energy from the sun is primarily transferred to the Earth by radiation, not by convection. Solar radiation travels through the vacuum of space and reaches the Earth in the form of electromagnetic waves. Once it reaches the Earth's atmosphere, it is absorbed and then re-radiated as heat.
Heat is transferred through the Earth primarily through conduction, where heat is passed from one particle to another. In the Earth's interior, heat is also transferred by convection, where hot material rises and carries heat with it. Additionally, heat can be transferred through radiation, in which energy is emitted as electromagnetic waves.

strasphere thermposphere,mespshere
through convection when the surface is warmer than the air the heat from the ground goes up and the cold from the air goes down
It is transferred by the energy of photons and heat radiation. Convection doesnt work as there is vacuum between sun and earth.
