Mainly by radiation - however, the radiation quickly gets absorbed by an atom, and re-emitted, so it takes quite a while to reach the surface. In the outer part of the Sun, the energy also gets transported through convection.

Energy, in the form of radiation, takes about 8 minutes to reach from the surface of Sun to the surface of Earth.
Energy produced in the core of the Sun through nuclear fusion primarily in the form of gamma rays slowly travels outward through the radiative zone, where it is absorbed and re-emitted by particles, a process that can take thousands to millions of years. Once it reaches the convective zone, energy is transported more rapidly by convection currents, where hot plasma rises to the surface, cools, and then sinks back down. This combined process eventually allows the energy to reach the Sun's surface and be emitted as sunlight into space.
Energy produced in the core of the Sun primarily comes from nuclear fusion, where hydrogen atoms fuse to form helium, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays. This energy then travels through the radiative zone, where it is absorbed and re-emitted by particles, a process that can take thousands to millions of years. Once it reaches the convective zone, energy is transported more rapidly by convection currents, with hot plasma rising to the surface and cooler plasma sinking. Finally, this energy emerges at the surface as sunlight.
The photosphere is considered the sun's surface because it is the visible layer of the sun that emits light and heat into space. It is where most of the sun's energy is produced and is the layer that we see when we look at the sun.
More of the sun's energy would reach a particular part of Earth's surface on a sunny day compared to a cloudy day. Clouds act as a barrier, reflecting and absorbing some of the sunlight, reducing the amount that reaches the surface. On a sunny day, there are fewer obstacles for the sunlight to pass through, allowing more energy to reach the surface.
From the surface of the sun the heat radiations take 8 minutes to reach the surface of hte earth.
Energy in the form of light and heat is produced in the sun's core through nuclear fusion reactions. This energy then moves outwards through the radiative zone and convective zone before reaching the sun's surface (photosphere) and being emitted as sunlight.
Yes, both heat and light from the sun need to pass through Earth's atmosphere to reach the surface of the planet. The atmosphere allows some of the sun's energy to pass through and reach the surface while also absorbing and reflecting some of it.
The energy in the Sun is primarily produced in the core, where nuclear fusion reactions convert hydrogen into helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. This energy then travels outward through the Sun's layers before being emitted as sunlight into space.
Most of the energy of the sun is produced by nuclear fission. The heat at the core convects to surface and is radiated outward into space. The earth is the fortunate recipient of that process.
The sun's energy is produced by nuclear ENERGY!!! im in school..lol
