b. Radiation is the answer

Answer:

The answer is Radiation.

Explanation:

The answer would be radiation. Radiation is an emission or transmission of energy in the form of particles that move very quickly. These can cross space or matter. The heat of the sun can be translated into these energy particles that move very quickly. Eventually, this energy manages to make contact with the earth's atmosphere, and is transferred, through radiation, to the ground. That is why on sunny days, the earth pulsed to be warmer than on cloudy days, since the emission of solar radiation is blocked by clouds in the sky.
