Question 1 Report

Through which of the following processes does solar energy warm the earth;s surface?
Answer Details
Solar energy warms the Earth's surface through the process of radiation. The sun emits electromagnetic waves, including visible light, which travel through space and reach the Earth. When these waves strike the Earth's surface, they are absorbed and converted into heat energy, which warms the air and the ground. This process of heat transfer from one object to another without physical contact is known as radiation. So, the correct option is "Radiation".
