@@MichelvanBiezen That is right, air does not conduct (well), does that not refer to collisions? If so, if air does not conduct and most of it does not radiate (N2 O2), is that not a problem, a paradox?

The air does conduct, but not as well as typical solids and liquids. Convection is a better mechanism for air to transport heat. (which is what happens in the atmosphere). That said, it is not correct to state that air doesn't conduct at all and yes energy is transferred through collisions.
@@MichelvanBiezen Air's conduction value is 0.024 WmK, one of the lowest known. It also does not diffuse heat fast with a thermal diffusivity of around 18mm a second, a little faster than a garden snail. It doesn't (by greenhouse theory) radiate and it basically doesn't conduct: I call that a paradox.
THANK you for explaining this! Frankly, I long forgotten this from school and was not clear exactly on the ways energy gets transferred.
I love learning random things, hopefully I can use this one day
I love the little smiling sun on item 4 😊 👍
There's no heat transfer due to Conduction?
conduction requires a conducting path, which typically requires a solid, which is not provided with gases.
