Thermal energy can be transferred by three methods: conduction, convention, and radiation.

Radiation transfer occurs when there is no movement of matter for the exchange of energy.

hope this helps :)

From the sun to the sand

  • See sun's light energy is a thermal energy also as sun 's ray produces heat
  • So when that comes contact with sand energy is transferred
