Heat Transfer via Convection and Radiation

Cool Convection Trivia:  Did you know that convection removes excess heat from the surface of Earth? Without it, we couldn't live here, as the average surface air temperature would be 125 degrees F.rather than 59 degrees F.  So cool! (no pun intended!)  :)
