Energy travels from the sun to earth. some of this energy is absorbed by particles in the atmosphere. the transfer of heat to particles in the atmosphere is an example of

radiation

Explanation:

Heat transfer is the process of propagating heat in different media. Three types of heat transfer are known: conduction, convection and radiation

The transfer by radiation is given at a distance. In fact, at any distance, as long as there is nothing that absorbs that energy along the way, and does not need a means to propagate.
