The situation (heat going through the ceiling) describes
conduction ...
heat going from one place to another by
soaking through some material.

A).  This is the one.  Heat goes from from the marshmallow
to your hand by soaking through the wire.   This is conduction too.

B).  No.  The heat in the room goes from the floor to the ceiling
because the warm air rises and carries it there.  This is convection.

C).  No.  There's nothing for the heat to soak through between
the sun and the roof, and nothing that can move from the sun
to the roof and bring the heat with it.  This is radiation.

D).  No.  Cold water sinks from the surface to the bottom because
warm water rose from the bottom to the surface, taking heat with it. 
This is convection.

2. Light rays from stars bend toward smaller angles as they enter Earth's atmosphere. a. Explain why this happens using Snell's
algol [13]

Explanation:

a)Snell's law states that when light travels from a rarer to a denser substance, like air to water or from a less dense layer of the atmosphere to a denser layer, it bends towards the normal{an imaginary line that is perpendicular to the surface of both media}. However,the opposite occurs when light moves from a more dense to a less dense medium. The angle between the normal and the refracted light ray is known as the angle of refraction.

In case of earth as light from the stars enters the earth atmosphere it bends towards smaller angle because the earth density increases as the light travel towards the earth troposphere from the exosphere as per the Snell's law described above.

b)Light rays that travel straight down do not bend, while rays that enter the Earth's atmosphere at a shallower angle get refracted and bend towards the normal, roughly following the direction of the Earth's curvature.

This means that celestial objects in the zenith position directly above you appear in the correct position, while objects closer to the horizon appear to be higher up in the sky than they actually are.
