Radiation if that's the answer you're looking for... Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves (or light energy) traveling through space (but not outer space, just space like in the air).

Is there life in other planets other than earth?
noones quite sure yet about if there is life on other planets because there is just no scientific proof of that yet. It would take to long to trave to other planets outside of our solar system because they can be light years away. However when we develope a way to reach the speed of light im sure we'll find out
It takes one million years for energy to be released from the sun and minute s to reach Earth from the sun?
The Sun continuously releases energy which takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth.
Does most of the sun's energy reach the earth?
no becuase some energy bounces off the moon
What does the ozone hole allow to reach Earth's surface?
The ozone hole allows some radiations to reach the earth's surface. These radiations are high energy UV radiations.
What kind of storms are in other planets?
On Neptune strong winds can reach 2,400 MPH! Hope i could help!!!!!!!
Does most of suns energy reach earth in light energy?
it does reach the earth in light energy.
Does the Earth and other planets move around the Sun?
The existence of large objects like planets or stars curve space and time. As the Earth goes around the sun it is in fact falling into the sun. The problem is that the sun and other planets are also moving. Gravity from the sun's previous location takes time to reach the Earth and planets such that the gravity from another location reaches the targets first. As the Earth and other planets reach a location where it might be moving in; the sun moves again, and other planets impart their gravity as well. The gravity of the sun becomes diluted throughout the heliosheath because of this weakening the effect of gravity even further.
How does the energy to reach Earth?
radiant energy
Could microbes from earth be transferred to mars or other planets on the surface of probes sent to these planets?
Microbes from Earth can be transferred to Mars or other planets on the surface to these planets but the overall risk is very low. Due to the harsh conditions of space, most microbes will suffocate or die from the extreme temperatures long before they reach another planet.
What is the purpose for the planets to revolve around the sun if earth is known to be the only planet with living organisms on it?
every planet has a certain amount of days to reach a year. So just like earth, other planets would have to revolve around the earth. (this was an easy question to not already be answered)
How long does it take for energy released by sun to reach earth?
That would depend on which type and form of energy you are referring to. Light energy takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.
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.

Is there earth life on mars or other planets?
No. The only astronomical body outside of the earth that humans have landed on has been the moon, and that hasn't happened now for the past 38 years. In order to reach Mars ... when Mars is the nearest to Earth that it can ever be ... astronauts will have to travel almost 200 times as far as they traveled to reach the moon.
