Planetary scientists have overturned a longstanding scientific tenet and provides new insights into how convection controls much of what we observe on planets and stars. A new study by UCLA planetary ...
Convection is the flow of heat energy from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature by movement of a fluid. Convection only occurs in fluids (liquids and gases). Convection in a ...
The particles of liquids are further apart than solids. This means that most liquids are poor conductors of heat because the frequency of collisions is reduced. The particles of gases are even further ...
