Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank problem about Earth's energy and heat transfer, we analyze each blank based on the context and the word bank:

Blank 1:

The sun is the primary source of energy for Earth's atmosphere. So the word here is "sun".

Blank 2:

When Earth gets energy from the sun, some of it escapes back into space. So we use "space".

Blank 3:

A part of the sun's energy is absorbed by the atmosphere. Thus, the word is "atmosphere".

Blank 4:

Land and water have surfaces, and energy can be absorbed by these surfaces. So we choose "surfaces".

Blank 5:

The atmosphere, along with other components, supports life on Earth. So the word is "life".

Blank 6:

Energy from the sun reaches Earth as radiant energy, which is also called radiation. So we use "radiation".

Blank 7:

Radiant energy travels in the form of waves. So the word is "waves".

Blank 8:

The transfer of energy through radiation is how energy moves via waves. So we choose "radiation" (again, as this is the process of energy transfer by radiation).

Blank 9:

When you sit by a campfire, you feel the heat from radiation. So the word is "campfire".

Blank 10:

The molecules of the skin absorb the energy from the campfire's radiation. So we use "absorb".

Blank 11:

When your skin absorbs the energy, you feel heat. So the word is "heat".

Blank 12:

Heat is transferred from an object with a higher temperature to one with a lower temperature. So the first temperature - related blank (higher) is "temperature".

Blank 13:

As mentioned above, the lower temperature object receives the heat. So this blank is "lower".

Blank 14:

Some radiation that is not absorbed is reflected off the atmosphere or surface. So the word is "reflects".

Blank 15:

Conduction is the transfer of energy when molecules bump into each other. So we use "conduction".

Blank 16:

Conduction occurs through direct contact between molecules. So the word is "contact".

Blank 17:

Convection is the transfer of heat due to density differences in the air. So we use "convection".

Blank 18:

Convection happens because of density differences in the air. So the word is "density".

Here is the filled - in passage:

The $\boldsymbol{\text{sun}}$ is the source of all energy in our atmosphere. When Earth receives the energy, some energy escapes back into $\boldsymbol{\text{space}}$, some is absorbed by the $\boldsymbol{\text{atmosphere}}$, and some is absorbed by land and water $\boldsymbol{\text{surfaces}}$. The balance among these three help the atmosphere support $\boldsymbol{\text{life}}$. Energy reaches Earth in the form of radiant energy, or $\boldsymbol{\text{radiation}}$. This process is the transfer of energy by $\boldsymbol{\text{radiation}}$. You experience radiation when you sit by a $\boldsymbol{\text{campfire}}$ and your skin becomes warm. The molecules of your skin $\boldsymbol{\text{absorb}}$ the energy and you feel $\boldsymbol{\text{heat}}$. Heat is the transfer of energy from an object with a higher $\boldsymbol{\text{temperature}}$ to an object with a $\boldsymbol{\text{lower}}$ temperature. Some radiation isn't absorbed by the atmosphere or surface objects. It $\boldsymbol{\text{reflects}}$ off the atmosphere or surface.

$\boldsymbol{\text{Conduction}}$ is the transfer of energy that occurs when molecules bump into one another and heat is transferred through direct $\boldsymbol{\text{contact}}$. $\boldsymbol{\text{Convection}}$ is the transfer of heat that occurs because of $\boldsymbol{\text{density}}$ differences in the air.
