electro-magnetic radiation(sunlight)
The heat of the sun reaches the earth by radiation, E = hf =hc/w.
Heat!!!!!! While the sun does produce a lot of heat, none of it reaches Earth. What reaches Earth is electromagnetic energy (light). Some of this light is converted to heat here on Earth, such as some of the light that hits your skin.
Yes, heat from the Earth's interior is transferred to the surface primarily through conduction. The Earth's core is extremely hot, and this heat gradually moves towards the surface by transferring from one atom to another. Eventually, this heat reaches the crust and helps drive processes like plate tectonics and volcanic activity.
False. The heat from the sun reaches Earth through radiation, which is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases.
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.

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.
No. The sun radiates heat in all directions on 3 axes. The spherical arc of that which reaches the Earth's Atmosphere is very small in comparison.
The Sun's energy is given out mainly as "electromagnetic radiation". Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the main form the Sun's energy has when it reaches Earth, particularly the Earth's surface.
You can feel the heat from the sun because the sun emits energy in the form of heat and light, which travels through space and reaches the Earth. When this energy reaches your skin, it is absorbed and converted into heat, making you feel warm.
Some of the most harmful radiation does not make it through the Earth's atmosphere.
Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact. In the case of the Earth, there is no medium for heat to travel through via conduction since space is a vacuum. Instead, heat from the Sun reaches Earth through radiation, which does not require a medium.
