Heat from the sun transfers to Earth through radiation.
What else can I help you with?
How does the heat form the sun travel to the earth?
Heat travels from the Sun to the Earth in waves. These waves are part of the solar radiation process.
How does the sun heat travel to earth?
In the form of electromagnetic radiation.
The only way heat can travel to earth from sun?
Ultraviolet radiation
Does gravity from the sun travel with the light and heat of the sun?
No. Earth would be trapped by the Sun's gravity even if it didn't shone.
How does the the sun transfer energy to the earth?
The energy from the Sun is transferred via electromagnetic waves to the Earth. These e-m waves may travel in a vacuum, and do so essentially at the speed of light.
Why heat cannot reach the earth from the sun by conduction or convection?
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.
How do you know that heat is transferred from the sun to earth by radiation?
It cannot be transmitted by conduction nor convection because there is no material connection between the sun and the Earth. Conduction and convection need a medium through which to travel, and since the space between the Earth and the Sun is considered a vacuum, they cannot occur. However, radiation does not require a medium through which to travel. It can travel through a vacuum, and therefore space. Therefore, it's the only surviving option for heat transmission.
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.
Can heat radiation travel through a vacuum?
Yes, heat radiation can travel through a vacuum because it does not require a medium for transfer like conduction or convection. This is why the Sun's heat can reach the Earth through the vacuum of space.
How far do the sun's rays travel to hit the Earth?
The average distance from the sun to the Earth is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). The sun's rays travel this distance through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth and provide light and heat.
What are the waves that travel from the sun to earth?
Light waves travel from sun to the earth.
Light to travel from sun to earth?
It takes approximatly 7minutes to travel from sun to earth the sun light.
