Answer: The earth is heated and its atmosphere is cooled by solar radiation.
Explanation: Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two object.
Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).
Radiation: is a mode of heat transfer which occurs through space.
The rays from the sun in the form of electromagnetic radiations fall on the surface of earth and the earth's surface get heated. Once the sun goes down, the earth's surface will begin to cool as it will start emitting energy again through space through radiation mode.This causes the earth's surface to become cooler during the night.
