Question

The heat from the Sun reaches Earth through conduction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Conduction is a mode of heat transfer which needs a medium for the transfer of energy. Since there is no medium between the surface of Earth and Sun, heat transfer through conduction is not possible. Radiation is the method of heat transmission that occurs without the help of a medium. So, we can say that the heat from the Sun reaches the Earth through radiation.
