∙ 12y agoIt can heat the earth and it uses the earth's orbit to do it. It also gives the right amount of warmth to the earth in the places that the earth needs a lot of warmth and the places the earth needs less amount of warmth.
the energy recieved from the sun is used to warm up the earth....all of it...not just the parts that need it! it depends on the orbit

Transferring thermal energy can be done by 3 basic physical processes: conduction, convection, and radiation.
Heat conduction occurs when two or more solid objects with different temperatures are touching each other. The energy flows from the object of higher temperature to the object of lower temperature. Since the Sun is not touching any planet, and can hardly be considered solid, conduction cannot be the answer to your question.
Convection is a special case of conduction. The energy transfer takes place between fluid bodies - those which are able to flow - unlike solids. Our household ovens work on convection. We have an intuitive feeling for convection. Hot air rises as cooler air sinks to displace it, and cookies are just a little bit better than cookie dough.
Radiation is a thermal energy transfer mechanism that does not require physical contact. Electromagnetic radiation (light in all its various forms, visible and invisible) can travel through the void and vacuum of space. And so Earth receives practically all Sun-sourced energy by way of Sun's light, particularly infrared light.
It's not a matter to be taken "lite"-ly.
Energy from the sun is transferred by radiation. Mainly through electromagnetic wavelengths.
About half of this radiation is visible light and less than ten percent is ultraviolet radiation. Some of this radiation is lost because it is absorbed in the stratosphere by "good" ozone. Energy that hits the surface of the earth moves around in the atmosphere due to convection currents. The heat from the ground warms the air above it.
Through Radiation. The particles radiate through space and reach Earth in about 8 minutes.

Is Energy from the sun is converted into different types of energy on earth?
its is converted into fossil fuels
How can you tell if solar energy has heated Earth or if energy from the sun has transferred to Earth?
Very simply, you can "see" the sun or feel the sun's warmth. Both of these tell you that solar energy from the sun has transferred to earth.
Transfer of energy from sun to earth?
Of the three types of heat transfer; Conduction, Convection and Radiation - only radiation (or electromagnetic radiation) is received directly from the sun by earth (though it may get converted once it arrives at Earth). This is due to space being a Vacuum, so convection and conduction don't carry the suns energy. Addition: The sun transfers gravitational energy E = -meGMs/r, to the earth.
What does earth's energy budget mean?
It's the amount of energy given out by the sun, and the energy received by the earth. Within that is the energy reflected and the energy given off from the earth.
What energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?
the energy transferred to the earth is called, electromagnetic radiation.
Most of earth's ecosystems' main source of energy is the?
The energy we receive from the Sun.The energy we receive from the Sun.The energy we receive from the Sun.The energy we receive from the Sun.
Does earth receive its energy from the sun?
Yes. Most of Earth's energy comes from the Sun.
Where does earth receive energy from?
From sun
Most of the energy on earth comes from?
The Sun provides most of the energy on Earth.
Earth and weather and ocean circulation are powered by energy from?
By the energy we receive from the Sun.
What are the parts of the earth that receive most of the sun's energy?
The "Tropics".
Which method of heat transfer does earth receive energy?
The Earth mainly receives energy Radiated by the Sun.
What factors influence the amount of energy that different places on earth receives from the sun?
The main factor that influences the amount of energy that different places on Earth receive from the sun is the places location. The closer it is to the equator the more sun energy it will receive.
Why does Earth receive more energy from the Sun than from any other star?
Because the Sun is the closest to the Earth.
Why does earth receive more energy?
Earth receives more energy from the moon, sun, stars, and other planets
What are two kinds of energy earth receive from the sun?
Heat and light.
What layer of the sun do you receive the most energy from?
the corona affects the earth the most
