(ii) Heat transfers from the sun to the earth by radiation and hence does not heat air
particles around. The hotness the boy feels is due to the amount of heat reflected back
from the earth’s surface and the ice at the peak is very far from the ground, hence ice
does not get reflected heat and remains cold but the boy surfers’ hotness.
