There are three types of transferrable energy: conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction- heat that moves from solid object to solid object by physical means.
Convection- heat that moves about a gaseous object (think about boiling water)
Radiation- light energy that can travel through space and needs no object to transfer through.
The correct answer for this question would be radiation.

What energy travels to earth as what type of waves?
Light as particles and waves travel from the sun to earth as energy.
Does energy from sun travel to earth as mechanical energy?
No never as mechanical energy. It reaches mainly as light and heat
Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction?
Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun
Why can sound only travel a certain distance on the earth?
It has something to do with the loss of energy that is inherent in a waveform.
How does heat energy from the sun get to the earth?
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.
What did energey from the sun travel to Earth as?
Energy from the sun to Earth travels as electromagnetic energy, or light energy.
What energy travels to earth as what type of waves?
Light as particles and waves travel from the sun to earth as energy.
What are waves of energy that travel through earth?
Sound waves
How does energy that reaches the earth from the sun travel?
It is done by radiation.
Does energy from sun travel to earth as mechanical energy?
No never as mechanical energy. It reaches mainly as light and heat
How does the sun' energy travel to the earth?
Electromagnetic radiation... i.e., light. Electromagnetic Waves A+
How does the suns energy reach Earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction.?
Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun
Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction?
Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun
What does energy travel through before hitting the earth's surface?
dookie and halitosis
Does chemical energy travel from the Sun to the Earth and get transformed into light energy by plants?
No. It is actually thermal energy from the sun that is transformed into food/chemical energy.
