Conduction, Convection, Radiation

Energy

Capacity to do work

Heat

How much energy is present

Temperature

Intensity of degree of hotness

Conduction

Transfer of heat by direct contact

Convection

Transfer of heat in a circular motion

Radiation

Travels in all directions from the source

Long Wave Length Color

Red

Short Wave Length color

Blue

Visible Light

Portion we can see colors of the spectrum (ROYGBIV)

Reflecttion

Reflected bounces back at the same angle it comes in

Scattering

Produces large number of weaker rays that travel in a different direction

Albedo

Ability to reflect

Higher # means more reflection

Scatter

goes in all directions

Reflection

Goes in opposite direction

Isotherms

Lines of equal temperature

Every 10 degrees

Don't pass through observing station

Never cross

Close together = rapid temp change (temp. gradient)
