A marshmallow cooks through conduction, where heat is transferred from the hot surface of the fire to the marshmallow as they are in direct contact. Additionally, some radiation from the fire contributes to the cooking process as well.

Why can heat travel through space by radiation but not by conduction or convection?

Heat travels through space by radiation because electromagnetic waves can propagate in a vacuum. In contrast, conduction and convection require a medium like a solid, liquid, or gas to transfer heat through collisions or circulation of particles. Since there is no medium in space, conduction and convection cannot occur.


Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction?

Energy from the sun travels to Earth by radiation because space is a vacuum and there is no medium for convection or conduction to occur. Radiation is the most efficient way for heat to transfer through the vacuum of space.


Does the energy move from earths surface and atmosphere out of space through radiation conduction or convection?

conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth


Which is slower conduction convection and radiation?

Conduction is the slower compared to the other two convection and radiation. Radiation is nothing but electromagnetic wave which travels at the speed of light. It is the fastest. Convection is due to free movement of liquid molecules so it is also faster compared to the conduction becuase conduction is passing the disturbed information form one molecule to the other. Here disturbance is in the form of vibration.


Why can't conduction and convection occur in space like radiation?

Conduction and convection require a medium to transfer heat, but space is a vacuum so there is no medium for these processes to occur. Radiation, on the other hand, can occur in the vacuum of space because it does not need a medium to transfer heat energy.

What are 3 methods of heat transfer?

Heat (or thermal) energy is kinetic energy due to motion of atoms and molecules. It is energy that is in the process of being transferred from one object to another because of their temperature difference


Are washing machines radiation convection or conduction?

It is used for CONDUCTION because conduction is when the two materials are touching and in the instance of ironing something they are touching so it is CONDUCTION :))))


How is the atmosphere affected by conduction convection radiation?

The atmosphere is affected by convention because convection heats the lower atmosphere. Radiation transfers energy which other gases heat up. Conduction does not impact the atmosphere in these same ways.

How does radiation convection and conduction different?

I don't know. Radiation stimulates atoms whereas conducton and convection increase the volume. This answer is correct because my science teacher checked it and I did a project on it. thanks


What are the three processes of heat transfer?

The three methods of heat transfer are: (1) Conduction - particles bump into other particles, transferring energy. (2) Convection - moving masses carry heat with them. Especially, hot air (for example) tends to rise up, because of its lower density - the heat difference itself causes the currents. (3) Radiation. Objects radiate electromagnetic radiation, depending on their temperature. (The amount of energy radiated increases quickly at higher temperatures.)

How is heat transferred within the earth's atmosphere?

Heat is transferred within the Earth's atmosphere through conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs through direct contact between molecules, convection involves the movement of air masses due to differences in temperature and pressure, and radiation involves heat being emitted and absorbed by the Earth's surface and atmosphere.

Conduction and convection require a medium to transfer heat, but space is a vacuum so there is no medium for these processes to occur. Radiation, on the other hand, can occur in the vacuum of space because it does not need a medium to transfer heat energy.
