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.
The energy travels as light and heat as radiation
Add your answer:
Energy that can travel through space?
Electromagnetic energy is transmitted through space in the form of electromagnetic waves. Radiation is the energy that can travel through space. - ESA FLACA
How does the sun's energy travel to Earth?
Most of the Sun's energy comes to Earth in the form of electromagnetic waves (this includes light), which can travel through empty 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
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 suns energy travel through space and reach the earth?
"Nearly all the energy in Earth's atmosphere comes from the sun. Energy travels to Earth as electromagnetic waves, a form of energy that can move through the vacuum of space."-Science Explorer
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.
What kinds of energy travel through matter?
Heat and light energy travel through space and matter
How does thermal energy travel through space?
Thermal energy in the form of infrared radiation can travel without a medium because the wave is transverse. Its the same thing as the sun's light traveling through space to strike the earth, light does not need a medium to propogate.
Can thermal energy travel through space?
Yes. That is how earth gets warmed is by thermal energy from the sun. Thermal = heat
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.
What form does energy travel through space?
Radiation energy
How does earth loses energy to outer space?
Earth loses energy to outer space through radiation.
Explain how energy transfers to the atmosphere?
Energy transfers to the atmosphere by electromagnetic waves. The waves travel from the sun, through space, and down to Earth's atmosphere.
How does the energy from the sun reaches the earth?
The sun's rays travel through space as ultraviolet rays, visible light etc.
What do light rays need to travel through space?
If light rays did not travel through space there would be no way for them to reach Earth.
Can light travel through space?
Light can travel through space. All the light that we get on the earth's surface; usually travels from the sun through space before it can reach here.
Can Light can travel through space?
Light can travel through space. All the light that we get on the earth's surface; usually travels from the sun through space before it can reach here.
Can sound produced on the moon travel to the earth?
Because sound requires a medium to travel through, sound cannot travel through space because space is a vacuum. Therefore a sound produced on the moon could not travel to earth.
How does solar energy reach the earth through space?
Most solar energy is carried by electromagnetic radiation. For example, light is electromagnetic radiation. It is simply a property of electromagnetic radiation that it can travel thru space.
Does heat energy travel through space by convection?
No
How does the sun's heat get to earth?
The sun's heat rays travel through space to get to earth - which is a solid with a different density - so the heat transfers to the earth. The energy from the sun gets absorbed.
How the energy of the sun reaches earth through the void of space which separates the sun and earth is called?
It travels as radiation, which can travel through a vacuum because it doesn't need other particles to propagate itself through the medium.
How 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.
What is the force that makes the earth travel through space?
The force that makes the Earth travle through space is the suns gravitantional pull on the Earth. The way the Earth travels through space is by the suns gravitational pull on the Earth making it go around the sun.
