Yes. Since there is no phjysical material in the space between
Sun and Earth, neither conduction nor convection is an option.

How is the suns energy transferred?
The sun transfer heat through radiationAnswer'Heat' is not transferred. Rather, 'heat' describes the process of transferring energy. So, your question should read, 'How does the sun transfer energy to earth?", and the answer is by radiation.
How does the suns energy reach Earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
Why can you feel the suns heat when there is no air between the sun and the earth?
Energy from the sun is transferred via electromagnetic radiation such as light. When this light hits you, your skin and clothes absorb some of the energy as heat.
What form does suns energy have when it reaches earth?
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.
What happens to the energy from the suns rays that reach earth?
As the sun's rays heat up the earth, the radiation hits the atmosphere. Then the radiation heads back to the sun.
Are the Earth's radiation wave larger than the suns?
Yes, they are longer. Longer wavelengths are lower energy.
How do the suns heat get to the earth?
Radiation
The suns energy is a form of what type of energy-?
The size of the sun determines its temperature and the amount of energy radiated. Electromagnetic energy from the sun comes to Earth in the form of radiation.
How do you define solar energy?
Solar energy can be the suns rays, or it can be space weather. But mostly it's the energy Earth gets from the sun for radiation or it can be reflected back into space.
What is the process that transfers the suns energy the rest of the way to the suns surface?
radiation carried by convection.
What do you call the energy that comes from the sun?
this is known as radiant energy. the suns radiation does it
How does the suns energy move through outer space?
Radiation.
