What did energey from the sun travel to Earth as?
Energy from the sun to Earth travels as electromagnetic energy, or light energy.
What energy travels to earth as what type of waves?
Light as particles and waves travel from the sun to earth as energy.
How does energy that reaches the earth from the sun travel?
It is done by radiation.
Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction.?
Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun

Does chemical energy travel from the Sun to the Earth and get transformed into light energy by plants?
No. It is actually thermal energy from the sun that is transformed into food/chemical energy.
Does energy from sun travel to earth as mechanical energy?
No never as mechanical energy. It reaches mainly as light and heat
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
Does chemical energy travel from from the sun to earth and is transformed into light enerty by plants?
true
How does theral energy travel through the vacuum between the earth and the sun?
as electromagnetic radiation
Energy from the sun travel to earth's surface by what?
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.
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.
