Is it true the heat from the sun reaches earth through convection?
No that is not true, heat from the Sun does not reach the Earth by means of convection.
What method of heat transfer does not require a medium to travel why is it important?
radiant For one thing, it's how heat energy from the sun reaches us.
Does energy from sun travel to earth as mechanical energy?
No never as mechanical energy. It reaches mainly as light and heat
Heat from the sun reaches you by which form of heat transfer?
Radiation This is because between the Sun and the earth there is a vacuum (there are no air molecules). So conduction and convection will be no use as they need molecules and atoms to work: they transfer heat through them or the molecules carry the heat. HOWEVER: Radiation needs no particles or atoms or molecules or anything for heat transfer, so the sun's light energy is transferred to us by radiation.
What kind of heat is the sun?
Radiant heat I assume you mean the heat emitted by the Sun rather than the heat of the Sun itself.
How does heat from the sun reach you?
Heat from the sun reaches you from radiation.
How does the heat of the sun reach in earth?
The heat of the sun reaches the earth by radiation, E = hf =hc/w.
Is it true the heat from the sun reaches earth through convection?
No that is not true, heat from the Sun does not reach the Earth by means of convection.
The heat from the sun reaches Earth through convection true or false?
That statement is false. The heat from the sun does NOTreach the Earth through convection.
What is the sun most responsible in producing?
Heat!!!!!! While the sun does produce a lot of heat, none of it reaches Earth. What reaches Earth is electromagnetic energy (light). Some of this light is converted to heat here on Earth, such as some of the light that hits your skin.
In the food chain how much of the Sun's energy is lost as heat before it reaches a producer?
90%
How sun is a source of nuclear energy?
The Sun produces its energy - the heat and light that reaches us from the Sun - from nuclear fusion. Specifically, it converts hydrogen to helium.
Does all heat radiated by the sun enters the atmosphere?
No. The sun radiates heat in all directions on 3 axes. The spherical arc of that which reaches the Earth's Atmosphere is very small in comparison.

What method of heat transfer does not require a medium to travel why is it important?
radiant For one thing, it's how heat energy from the sun reaches us.
What causes the Sun's light and heat energy that reaches earth?
Among other things - your existence.
How does the heat from the sun reach your bodies?
The Sun's energy reaches Earth in the form of "electromagnetic radiation". Most of the heat is carried by the visible light, but there are other parts of the "spectrum" of radiation involved such as the infra-red. Much of the heat reaches you after being absorbed by the Earth in various ways and given out again. This heat contains a lot more infra-red than direct sunlight.
