Electromagnetic radiation... i.e., light.
Electromagnetic Waves A+
Energy from the sun to Earth travels as electromagnetic energy, or light energy.
It is done by radiation.
Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun
The sun gives its energy to the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of sunlight. Gravity doesn't play a direct role in the transfer of energy from the sun to the Earth. Space may be a vacuum, but light and energy can still travel through it.
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.
Light from the sun travels to Earth in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
true
as electromagnetic radiation
Energy from the sun travels to the earth's surface is brought here by electromagnetic radiation. Once the radiation reaches the planet, most of it is converted to heat.
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.
Light waves travel from sun to the earth.
No, the energy from the sun travels to Earth mainly in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as sunlight. This energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat and light, when it interacts with Earth's atmosphere and surface.
