Unit 6 Part 1 Heat Transfer and Atmosphere

QuestionAnswer
Heat Transfer This is how heat moves from one place to another. Heat always moves from something hot to something cooler, like when you touch a warm cup and feel the heat in your hand.
Conduction The way heat moves through touch, like a spoon getting hot in soup.
Convection The way heat moves through liquids and gases, like warm air rising and cool air sinking.
Radiation Heat traveling through space, like the Sun warming your face.
Convection Currents This happens when warm air or liquid rises, and cooler air or liquid sinks, creating a cycle. It’s like how hot soup moves around in a pot or how wind moves in the atmosphere.
Electromagnetic Waves These are invisible waves that carry energy, like sunlight, radio waves, or X-rays. You can feel the heat from the Sun even though there's empty space between the Earth and the Sun because of these waves.
Radiant Energy This is energy that travels in waves, like light or heat from the Sun, a fire, or a light bulb. You feel radiant energy when you stand near something warm.
Greenhouse Gases Gases like carbon dioxide and methane that trap heat in the atmosphere, keeping Earth warm.
Atmosphere The layer of air that surrounds Earth and protects us.
Troposphere The lowest layer of the atmosphere, where all weather happens.
Stratosphere A layer of the atmosphere where airplanes fly and the ozone layer is found.
Ozone layer A part of the atmosphere that protects us from the Sun’s harmful rays.
Mesosphere A layer of the atmosphere where meteors burn up, making shooting stars.
Thermosphere A very hot layer of the atmosphere where the northern lights happen.
Exosphere The very edge of our atmosphere; in this layer the air is extremely thin and separates the rest of the atmosphere from outer space.
Air Pressure The weight of the air pushing down on everything.
