Answer:

D) Earth's shadow on the moon shows it is spherical.

Explanation:

According to ancient astronomers, Earth was flat. But it was eventually proved wrong.

1. Had Earth been flat, ship in the sea could be seen for a far distance but it is not so.

2. During the lunar eclipse, the shadow of the Earth falling on moon would have been flat or would have sharp edges. But, the shadow was found to be round in shape. A spherical object casts a round shadow.

Thus, option D is correct.

The heat from the bonfire is transferred to the student's hands through the process of
Akimi4 [234]
The heat from the bonfire is transferred to the student's hands mainly, but not exclusively, through the process of RADIATION.


There are three mechanisms or processes of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and ratiation.


Conduction is carreid out by contact; it requires that the two objects are touching each other. This is not the case.


Convection is the heat transferred by the movement of the fluids (liquids ang gases). In some extent this happens in this case, but it is not the dominant effect becasue air is not a very good conductor. Specially if there is not much air movement (wind).



Thermal radiation is carried out by electromagnetic waves. When there is a source of intense heat, like the fire, the heat is propagated by radiation.


Then really, the heat from the bonfire gets to the student's hands by convection and radiation, but as fire is very intense (its temperature is very high), and as long as the air is calmed, the dominant process is radiation.  If there is wind, convection starts to be important.
