Why does a glass window not allow heat transfer by convection?

AGlass is a poor conductor of heat

BGlass is a solid and does not allow fluid movement

CGlass reflects all heat radiation

DGlass absorbs heat and converts it to light

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Understand convection requirements
Convection requires fluid movement (liquid or gas) to transfer heat.
Step 2: Glass properties
Glass is solid and does not allow fluid movement, so convection cannot occur through it.
Final Answer:
Glass is a solid and does not allow fluid movement → Option B
Quick Check:
Glass is a solid and does not = correct ✅

Quick Trick: Convection only in fluids, not solids like glass.
