Electro-magnetic radiation (sunlight).
It attempts to reach the surface of the Earth.
It will take 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth. The actual heat of the sun does not reach all the way out to Earth. The warmth on Earth comes from the conversion of light energy to heat energy.
The heat of the sun reaches the earth by radiation, E = hf =hc/w.
It will take 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth. The actual heat of the sun does not reach all the way out to Earth. The warmth on Earth comes from the conversion of light energy to heat energy.
Heat from the sun cannot reach the earth through conduction or convection because space is a vacuum and does not contain matter to transfer heat. Heat from the sun reaches the earth through radiation, as electromagnetic waves travel through the vacuum of space.
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
The Sun's heat reaches the Earth through radiation, which is a type of heat transfer where energy is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Most of the meteorites which reach Earth burn up as they enter Earth's atmosphere due the heat caused by friction. The moon has no atmosphere.
From the surface of the sun the heat radiations take 8 minutes to reach the surface of hte earth.
No, heat from the sun is transmitted to the Earth through radiation. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids like air or water. In the case of the sun, the heat travels through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth.
More reach the surface of the moon because there is no atmosphere to heat and burn them up.
yes that is why it is warm enough to support life on earth. Also that is why people get sun burned.
