But, this small fraction of energy is enough to drive the weather cycle and sustain life on earth thermal

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through a material

Thermal energy is always transformed; transferred from warm to cold areas.

Radiation is the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves.

Although the Sun radiates a huge amount of energy, the earth only receives a tiny fraction of this energy

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through a material

Thermal energy is always transformed; transferred from warm to cold areas.

When air molecules come in direct contact with the warm surface of the earth, thermal energy is transferred to the atmosphere

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy by circulation or movement of a liquid or gas

Most thermal energy in the atmosphere is transferred by convection

Cool air is denser so it sinks as is cool air sinks; it pushes the warm air up.

Cool air is denser so it sinks as is cool air sinks; it pushes the warm air up.

The cool air is eventually heated by the Earth's surface and begins to rise again in this cycle of warm air rising and cooling causes a circular movement of air called a convection current

The cool air is eventually heated by the Earth's surface and begins to rise again in this cycle of warm air rising and cooling causes a circular movement of air called a convection current

Now as this energy from the Sun enters the atmosphere several things happen

First about 25% is scattered and reflected by the clouds and air; 20% is absorbed by the ozone clouds and atmospheric gases about 50% is absorbed by the Earth's surface and 5% is reflected by the Earth's surface.

So all of this working together, the radiation the conduction, the convection and then the Sun rays being reflected scattered or absorbed causes atmospheric heating.

Kinds Of Clothes We Wear, you know, that in summer we prefer light color and in winter we wear dark colored clothes.

Why is it so?

Let us understand with an experiment.

Take two identical Tin cans.

Paint the outer surface of one tin with black and the other with white.

Pour equal amounts of water in each, and leave them in the Sun for about an hour.

Leave the can in a room, or in a shade. Note the temperature of water after 10 to 15 minutes, does the temperature of water in both the cans fall by the same amount?

This activity suggests why you prefer to wear certain kind of clothes in summer and winter?

Dark surfaces absorb more heat and therefore we feel comfortable with dark clothes in winter and light colored clothes reflect most of the heat that falls on them therefore we feel more comfortable, wearing them in summer.

Cotton clothes also absorb sweat and allow air circulation.

In winter, we use woolen clothes. Wool is a poor conductor of heat. Moreover, there is air trapped in between the wool fibers prevents the flow of heat from our body to the cold surroundings. So we feel warm.

Suppose you are given the choice of either one of one blanket or two thin blankets joined together, What would you choose and why?

Remember that there would be a layer of air in between the blankets. This will keep us warm and comfortable and hence we would choose two blankets instead of one blanket in winter.

Breeze is caused due to difference in heating.

Let us see the cause for land breeze and sea breeze

During the day land gets heated more than the sea water

Hot air above the land rises up and therefore the cold air from the sea side moves towards the beach

This is sea breeze

At night it is exactly the reverse.
