Question

When we come out in the sun, we feel warm. How does the heat from the sun reach us?

Answer 1

Answer:

Radiation

Explanation:

Greetings !

The Sun reaches us by propagating through the vacuum of space. Sunlight reaches the Earth in about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. When this energy reaches the Earth's atmosphere, both conduction and convection play key roles to scatter it throughout the planet.

Answer 2

Answer: The heat from the sun reaches us through radiation and processes such as conduction and convection helps to scatter that heat on the surface of our planet.

Explanation:

The phenomenon behind the Sun's heat reaching us is radiation. It does this by propagating through the vacuum of space.

The amount of time it takes for the sunlight to reach us on Earth is approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds. When it reaches our planet, conduction, the movement of heat or electricity through a medium or passage, as well as convection, the rising of hotter and less dense material and sinking of colder and more dense/denser material, helps to scatter the heat on Earth's surface.
