When the ground gets warm, it emits an invisible type of light called infrared light. This light can travel into the atmosphere and heat the air that it encounters. What type of heat transfer is described above? (1 point) Responses conduction conduction convection convection radiation radiation precipitation

1 answer

The type of heat transfer described above is radiation. Infrared light emitted from the warm ground travels through the atmosphere and heats the air, which is a form of heat transfer that does not require direct contact between objects.
