Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is invisible. ... In electromagnetic radiation, its frequency is the number of electromagnetic waves moving past a point each second.

How does the sun' energy travel to the earth?
Electromagnetic radiation... i.e., light. Electromagnetic Waves A+
How does the sun give its energy to the Earth when space has no gravity?
The sun gives its energy to the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of sunlight. Gravity doesn't play a direct role in the transfer of energy from the sun to the Earth. Space may be a vacuum, but light and energy can still travel through it.
What is radiation in heat terms?
Radiation is when no atoms or molecules are involved in the transfer of heat or energy. This is when energy can travel through empty space . Ex:sun heats earth through space;radiation.
What forms of electromagnetic energy carry most of the energy of the sun to earth?
It is radiated electromagnetic energy, the only sort that can travel through space.
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Energy from the sun reaches the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of visible light. This light travels through the vacuum of space and reaches the Earth's atmosphere, where it is absorbed and converted into heat energy.
Does radiant energy require a medium through which to travel?
No, radiant energy, such as electromagnetic waves, can travel through a vacuum because it does not require a medium to propagate. This is why electromagnetic energy from the Sun can reach us here on Earth through the vacuum of space.
What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?
Electromagnetic energy, such as light and radio waves, can travel through empty space or through matter. This type of energy does not require a medium to propagate and can travel vast distances through the vacuum of space.
What form does energy travel through space?
Radiation energy
Why the sound produce on the sun cannot be heard on earth?
because space is a vacuum. In order for sound to carry, there must be matter through which it may travel (sound is caused by the energy that causes particles to vibrate). On Earth, we have the air particles that sound carry's through. In space, there is no medium through which the sound energy may travel.
Why is it important to us on Earth that light can travel through space?
It is because light can travel through space that Earth can get sunlight. Without sunlight life on Earth could not exist.
Does heat energy travel through by space by convection?
No
Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction?
Energy from the sun travels to Earth by radiation because space is a vacuum and there is no medium for convection or conduction to occur. Radiation is the most efficient way for heat to transfer through the vacuum of space.
