Correct Answer: good absorber and good radiator of heat


Solution : The correct option is a good absorber and a good radiator of heat .

The earth is a good heat absorber and radiator. This property is critical to the planet's climate and temperature regulation. The Earth mostly absorbs heat from the sun in the form of solar radiation. After absorbing heat, the Earth emits it back into space as infrared radiation. This radiative cooling mechanism serves to maintain the temperature of the earth and keeps it from becoming too hot.
