Why is it dangerous to leave an animal in a car with the windows closed in bright sunlight?

• The air inside the car will absorb heat energy through conduction from the sun, increasing the temperature inside the car.

• The air in the car will become dangerously cold as heat energy is transferred out of the car by radiation.

• The temperature inside the car will remain equal to the air temperature outside due to a state of equilibrium that could be dangerous.

• The air inside the car will absorb and hold radiant heat energy from the sun, increasing the temperature inside the car.
