Suppose you take an interest in astronomy. You are at an astronomy conference and you are listening to a presentation where a scientist is describing a new planet. The scientist says "The planet Xhhroylg is completely solid and convects heat from its inner core towards the surface at a rapid rate. Although no electromagnetic radiation escapes through its dense atmosphere, its heat conducts through the reaches of outer space and that explains how it cools down." Please discuss three instances where, scientifically, this presenter is incorrect.
