| Question | Answer |
| radiation | energy that is radiated or transmitted in the form of rays or waves or particles |
| conduction | the direct transfer of energy with molecules into each other. |
| convection | the transfer of heat by the flow of heated material. |
| Sun | the source of a ll energy in our atmoshere |
| what are 3 things happen when Earth receives energy from the sun? | 1. Some energy is reflected back into space.2. Some is absorbed by the atmosphere.3. Some is absorbed by land and water. |
| heat transfer | transition of thermal energy from a hotter mass to a cooler mass |
