Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Energy for convection on the Earth comes from ____
A
The sun
B
The moon
C
Solar winds
D
The ocean
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The sun’s radiation strikes the ground, thus warming the rocks. As the rock’s temperature rises due to conduction, heat energy is released into the atmosphere, forming a bubble of air which is warmer than the surrounding air. This bubble of air rises into the atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -Convection in the Sun Hot plasma rises from the core towards the surface, where it cools and sinks back towards the core. This process forms convection cells that we see as solar granules. The lighter color in the granules is the sun’s hot plasma that has risen to the surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -All of the energy from the Sun that reaches the Earth arrives as solar radiation, part of a large collection of energy called the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Solar radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.

Detailed explanation-4: -Energy from the Sun is transferred to Earth through convection. Radiation requires a heated liquid to transfer energy. Nearly all of the energy that Earth receives from the Sun is used in photosynthesis. In the atmosphere water vapor condenses to form clouds.

Detailed explanation-5: -It is not convection process, it is radiation. The rays which do not require any medium for the transfer of heat is known as the radiation process.
