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.
What do telescopes do with electromagnetic radiation?
Telescopes collect and focus electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light or radio waves, to create images of objects in space. Different telescopes are designed to detect specific wavelengths of radiation to study various astronomical phenomena, from stars and planets to galaxies and black holes.
What is stellar radiation?
Stellar radiation refers to the electromagnetic radiation emitted by stars, including light, ultraviolet rays, and other forms of energy. This radiation is crucial for maintaining the temperature and conditions necessary for supporting life on planets like Earth.
How does the energy of the sun reach earth and moon and other planets?
Radiation if that's the answer you're looking for... Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves (or light energy) traveling through space (but not outer space, just space like in the air).
How does the sun's heat get to planets far away?
Heat from the Sun travels through the vacuum of space in the form of electromagnetic radiation - primarily through infrared which has wavelengths longer than visible light; some of the visible light also gets converted to heat when it hits the planet (the darker the surface, the more pronounced this effect is).
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.
What kind of energy does the sun have?
This question has two answers. The Sun, itself, is a big boiling pot of gases that generates mass amounts of energy through the process of nuclear fusion. That energy transferred to the planets around it through radiation, which are waves of charged particles that are able to travel long distances. Therefore, the Sun has two energy forms, though it uses only nuclear energy for itself.
Sun is a star but why is the star is not a sun?
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.
How is the energy of the sun transferred through void of space?
radiation
Are there forces in space?
Yes, there are various forces at play in space such as gravity, electromagnetic forces, and nuclear forces. Gravity, for example, is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around stars and for holding galaxies together. Electromagnetic forces are involved in interactions between charged particles, while nuclear forces operate within atomic nuclei.
Does everything in space involve nuclear energy?
All the stars rely on nuclear fusion to provide their energy, but there are other objects like the planets and asteroids that are just lumps of rock or gas, without nuclear reactions going on, and astronomers now think that such objects will be found all over the universe as well as in our solar system.
