How does the sun heat travel to earth?
In the form of 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.
Earth receive heat from sun is called.?
The process that Earth receives heat from the sun is called radiation.
How far would it be for you to travel from Earth to the Sun and then to Venus?
Once you travel to the Sun, you won't be going anywhere else. Oh, this is just a THOUGHT-experiment? The precise distance varies, as both the Earth and Venus are in elliptical orbits, but in general the Earth is ABOUT 93,000,000 miles from the Sun, and Venus is ABOUT 67,000,000 miles from the Sun. So, ABOUT 160,000,000 miles for the trip.
Does the sun keep the earth warm?
The sun warms the earth. The heat (energy) from the earth then heats the air.
How does heat travel from the sun to earth?
Heat from the sun transfers to Earth through radiation.
How does the heat form the sun travel to the earth?
Heat travels from the Sun to the Earth in waves. These waves are part of the solar radiation process.
How does the sun heat travel to earth?
In the form of electromagnetic radiation.
The only way heat can travel to earth from sun?
Ultraviolet radiation
Why does the earth orbit the sun and not travel far out into space?
The gravitational pull from the planets and the sun
How far does light travel to get to earth?
It takes 8 minutes from the Sun
Does gravity from the sun travel with the light and heat of the sun?
No. Earth would be trapped by the Sun's gravity even if it didn't shone.
How far do the sun's rays travel to hit the Earth?
The earth travels on an orbit around the sun changing the distance the sun's rays would have to travel. It takes between 490 to 507 seconds for the rays to reach Earth.
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.
Does a radiation wave need a medium to travel?
No. Heat from the sun gets to the earth by radiation, and there is no medium inbetween the sun and the earth because space is a vacuum.
How does heat from the Sun travel through the vacuum of space to the Earth?
The Sun's energy is transmitted by electromagnetic radiation, with most of the heat caused by ultraviolet radiation striking the Earth's surface. This heat is re-radiated by infrared radiation.
Do stars provide heat?
Yes, but apart from the Sun, the stars are too far away for their heat to affect Earth.
