The way heat is transferred from the sun to Earth is because heat from the Sun is transferred to the Earth by a process known as Radiation. Most objects in the universe continuously radiate light off of their exposed surfaces due to their temperature. The hotter an object is, the more energy this discharge light will contain.

Most objects in the universe continuously radiate electromagnetic radiation (light!) off of their exposed surfaces due to their internal thermal energy (or temperature). The hotter an object is, the more energy this emitted light will contain. Although the human eye is not sensitive enough to detect the low energy light given off of by ordinary colder objects, you can see some radiation when you look at a hot stove or at pieces of wood inside of a fire (they tend to glow red or white).
In fact, the sun is one of the hottest objects around... and its thermal radiation is the reason it glows! Since Light doesn't need air (or any other medium) to travel through, it can pass right through the vacuum of space between the Sun and the Earth and hit the Earth.
When the Light radiated from the Sun hits the Earth, the Earth absorbs some of it... this absorption of the Sun's light makes the Earth hot! We can thank our lucky star that this is true, because most of the energy we have here on earth comes (directly or indirectly) from the Sun's Radiation.
Sun emits all sort of radiations from gamma rays to radio waves and energy level go on decreasing as wave length increases. So the energy absorbed in form of photons increases the temperature of the earth.

Thermal radiation (heat) is the same as any other type of radiation, except the wavelengths are much longer than those found in the visual spectrum of light, or ultra-violet, and so on.
Heat is just another form of light, or radiation. It traverses through space, just like any other type of light. And it takes approximately 8 minutes for light from the Sun to reach the Earth.

What role does the sun have on how heat is transferred?
Due to nuclear reaction in the sun it emits enormous heat ,and heat does not require any medium to transfer.
Can you pump down a heat pump system in heat mode just as you would do in the cool mode?
No, the energy in a heat pump system must be transfered to another heat pump system because the first law of thermodynamics say that energy cannot be created nor destroyed
What is the definition of heat load which deals with heat exchangers?
Hottness form the sun
Why does asphalt get hot?
because it absorbs the heat from the sun
How much heat does the sun give off?
The sun emits 1.2×1034 J each year.
Heat energy from the sun is transfered to earth by?
Radiation
What is the primary mechanism in which heat enters from the sun and transfered to earth?
evaporation enters
In what ways is heat transferred within earth's atmosphere?
Its transfered by cunduction sun--> atmosphere
What is heat trainsfer?
Heat transfer is when heat is transfered from one object to another,for example,the sun gives the Earth warmth and energy
How does heat travel from the sun to earth?
Heat from the sun transfers to Earth through radiation.
How does heat transfer in earth?
From the sun to the earth it is radiant heat
Will earth be gone?
Yes. Earth will be gone because the sun expands. and when the sun expand the heat in the sun will disintegrate earth by its powerful heat source
Earth receive heat from sun is called.?
The process that Earth receives heat from the sun is called radiation.
What does the sun do to the earth?
the sun gives heat to the earth so if there was no sun we would die.
How does the heat of the sun reach in earth?
The heat of the sun reaches the earth by radiation, E = hf =hc/w.
What were the sources of heat for the protoplanet?
the sources of heat is the sun and the solar system this makes the earth have heat and energy. The sun is the earth main source of heat and energy
How the sun transfer energy to earth?
the sun transfer the heat to earth by radiation of heat
