|
|
by radiation, using electromagnetic waves to transfer the heat
|
|
|
by convection, using liquids and gases to transfer the heat
|
|
|
by conduction, using solids to transfer the heat
|
|
|
by absorption, using primary waves to transfer the heat

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the solar radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere and much of what reaches the earth’s surface is radiated back into the atmosphere to become heat energy. Dark colored objects, such as asphalt, absorb radiant energy faster than light colored objects.
Detailed explanation-2: -The energy, heat, and light from the sun flow away in the form of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). The electromagnetic spectrum exists as waves of different frequencies and wavelengths. The frequency of a wave represents how many times the wave repeats itself in a certain unit of time.
