It is done by radiation.
The energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is known as sunlight.
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.
Energy from the sun travels to the earth's surface is brought here by electromagnetic radiation. Once the radiation reaches the planet, most of it is converted to heat.
The majority of the sun's energy is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere before it reaches the surface.
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.

The Sun
No, the energy from the sun travels to Earth mainly in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as sunlight. This energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat and light, when it interacts with Earth's atmosphere and surface.
RadiationHeat can't travel through a vacuum, directly, so the sun emits energy as light. The earth receives about a two billionth of the sunlight emitted, but the light is converted to heat and other energy forms.
The Sun's energy is given out mainly as "electromagnetic radiation". Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the main form the Sun's energy has when it reaches Earth, particularly the Earth's surface.
Energy from the sun to Earth travels as electromagnetic energy, or light energy.
