Answer:

The energy transferred to the air makes the air molecules excited. This causes them to move quickly increasing the temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The transmission of thermal energy is something common from day to day, because it is through it that food is cooked, that there are winds, that we are warmed by sunlight, among other examples. Transmission occurs from the warmest to the least warm environment. When this energy transmission occurs through the air, the air receives energy from the warmer environment, this energy makes the air molecules excited, energized. For this reason, these molecules begin to move rapidly causing a rise in temperature.
