How long will it take earth to get to the sun?
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.
How long will it take the get the suns heat to 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.
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 long does it take for heat of the Sun fusion reactions to reach the sun's surface?
From the surface of the sun the heat radiations take 8 minutes to reach the surface of hte earth.
Does the sun's heat reach Earth?
yes that is why it is warm enough to support life on earth. Also that is why people get sun burned.
How far can the sun's heat reach?
The sun's heat can reach Earth and warm its surface and atmosphere. The heat dissipates the farther it travels into space. Without the sun's heat, Earth would be extremely cold and unable to support life.
Is heat from the sun transmitted to the earth by convection?
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.
What type of heat transfer allows the Sun's heat to reach the 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.
Do heat and light from the sun have to pass through the atmosphere to reach earth?
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.
What happens to the energy from the suns rays that reach earth?
As the sun's rays heat up the earth, the radiation hits the atmosphere. Then the radiation heads back to the sun.
Is it true the heat from the sun reaches earth through convection?
No, the heat from the sun reaches Earth through radiation, not convection. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids like air or water.
Explain How you can feel heat from the sun even though the sun is millions of miles away in space?
The distance in between the Earth and the Sun is 93000000 miles. In space the temperature in the sun is 10 times that on Earth. The sun produces such incredible heat energy that it is able to reach Earth. The heat is much less here than it would be if we were closer to the sun. The sun creates its heat by burning the gasses that make it up.
