What are the three are the main influences on the input of solar energy to the Earth?
The three main influences on the input of solar energy to the Earth are the distance between the Earth and the Sun, the angle at which the sunlight reaches the Earth's surface (known as the solar angle), and the amount of atmosphere the sunlight has to travel through before reaching the Earth's surface. These factors determine the intensity and distribution of solar energy received by different parts of the Earth.
Does heat travel through a vacuum?
Actually heat cannot travel through vacuum. sun emits radiations (obviously electromagnetic radiations.) which needs no medium to travel. hence these radiations travel through space and reaches earth where it interacts with atmosphere. when these radiations fall on media like air, water land etc. the radiation is converted into heat energy. Thus it is clear that heat from sun is converted into radiations which travel through space and reaches earth where it is converted to light.
Is it true that unlike mechanical waves electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum such as you would find in space?
Correct, electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum. Sunlight is an example of this.
Why do the poles equator heat differently?
The equator is closer to the Sun.The sunlight falls directly through the atmosphere and onto the Earth's surface, and is warmer.At the poles the sunlight is on a slant and has further to travel so cools down faster.
What are the names for sunlight energy?
I guess you could say kinetic seeing as the lightwaves travel through space.
How does the sun give its energy to the Earth when space has no gravity?
The light travel directly through the vacuum and reaches earth
