Energy from the Sun is transferred to Earth through convection. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F

Respuesta :

It's False. Convection is the other way round.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Convection occurs within fluids, where warmer parts of the fluid rise up and and are replaced by colder part of the fluids moving downward. The point here is that convection occurs only when there is a medium involved (a fluid, more specifically). Instead, energy from the Sun reaches the Earth through vacuum: so there is no medium, and so no convection can occur.

In fact, energy from the Sun is transferred to the Earth through radiation: radiation consists of electromagnetic waves, which can carry energy through vacuum, and so through space.
