Weather: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

The video tutorial explains the three main methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. It begins with a practical example of a spoon in boiling water to illustrate conduction, where heat travels through direct contact. Convection is demonstrated with a wood fire heating a room, showing how heat moves through fluids. Finally, radiation is discussed, highlighting how energy from the Sun warms the Earth. Each method is explained with real-world examples to enhance understanding.

What process allows heat to travel up the spoon even though one end is not in boiling water?

Explain the concept of conduction in your own words.

How does convection work in the atmosphere?

Describe how heat is distributed from warm areas to cooler areas.

What is radiation and how does it relate to the Sun's energy?
