How does the sun transfer energy to the planets?
It wisely does that by means of electromagnetic radiation.
How does energy from the sun travel to the planets?
Energy from our Sun travels to the planets through space in the form of electromagnetic radiation, the carrier of which energy is the photon.
Why is the sun is a star but the moon is not?
Because the moon is satelite. The sun (or any stars) don't orbit the earth. The moon does. A star is a body that involves a Nuclear reaction that emits heat, light, and multiple forms of other Electromagnetic Radiation. Planets and Moons do not have such reactions and therefore only reflect light from other bodies.

Can planets generate nuclear fusion?
No. That's precisely the main difference between planets and stars - that stars can have nuclear fusion, planets not.
What does the atmosphere do for the inner planets?
It protects the inner planets from ultraviolet radiation
What is the role of the sun to the different planets?
Within the Sun, nuclear fusion between hydrogen and helium takes place, giving off enormous amounts of energy. This energy is released in the form of radiation, which travels through the vacuum of space and reaches planets.
Can a planet eject storms of radiation into space?
Some planets can indeed eject radiation.
What is formed from nuclear fusion?
Gaseous planets
What planets are powered by nuclear fusion?
None.
How are the stars moon and planets the same?
They are all objects held together by gravity. The main DIFFERENCES are the corresponding masses, the fact that planets orbit stars, whereas moons orbit planets, and that stars (due to their greater mass) can convert a lot of energy due to nuclear fusion.
How does the sun give hotness to these planets?
through radiation
