Question

The heat from the Sun must pass through the vacuum of space before it reaches the Earth. Which process is illustrated in this example?

Answer 1

Answer:

The hot atoms will then bump into colder atoms, sharing their heat through conduction, until the bath becomes an even temperature. But because space is a vacuum, there are no liquids or gases to convect heat away from the sun, all the way to Earth. So we can rule out convection.
