Conduction, Convection, and Radiation
Radiation

radiation
causes some of the Earth's heat to be lost back into space
Conduction occurs between objects in
direct contact
radiation
energy is transferred by electromagnetic radiation
convection
heat transfer by the movement of mass from one place to another;can take place only in liquids and gases
convection
main driving force for the transfer of heat between air masses
convection
moves about the planet heat gained by conduction and radiation from the sun;heating of the Earth isn't even
Radiation does not require
physical contact
convection
the transfer of heat by the actual movement of warmed energy in a gas or liquid by movement of currents. (It can also happen in some solids, like sand)
conduction
the transfer of heat within a substance by direct contact
conduction
transfer of energy through matter using direct contact
radiation
transfer of heat from the Sun to the Earth's atmosphere
