Question

State whether given statement is True or False
The heat coming from the sun travels by convection

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Heat from Sun reaches us by the process of radiation. As we know radiation do not need any material medium for heat transfer. It takes place in the form of electromagnetic radiations. In space (where there is Sun) there is no atmosphere, no medium, so convection can't take place. By radiation only heat can be transmitted by Sun to earth.
