The steps in the heating of a metal seat in a park are:

Step 1: Heat travels from the sun to Earth

Step 2: Heat travels through atmosphere to the top of the seat

Step 3: Heat from the top of the seat travels through the seat to the lower parts of the seat.

-- Heat is transferred by radiation in Step 1 and Step 2. <em>(B)</em>

-- From the top of the seat to the bottom, heat is transferred by conduction.  

There's no convection happening anywhere in the park-hot-seat scenario.

What are hot clouds of gaseous elements and compounds that act as nurseries for stars
Aleks04 [339]
Interstellar gas clouds are common in many galaxy, like the Orion nebulae which many young stars are being born. A typical nebula is many light years in diameter and contains enough material mass to make several thousand stars the size of our sun. The majority of the gas in nebulae consist of molecules of hydrogen and helium-but most nebulae also contain atoms of other elements. All known element in our periodic table is also being made inside this crucible of this immense hot gas. The source of the organic molecules is still a mystery. Irregularities in the density of the gas causes a net gravitational force that pull the gas molecules close together.
