Electromagnetic radiation.
yes
The suns rays are most direct around or at the equator.
The primary source of the suns energy is nuclear fusion of hydrogen. Nuclear fusion occurs in the core of the Earth.
a solar flair is right near the top of the sun and passes on into space and reaches earth
through the mantlethrough the suns rays
radiant
its about just 1%
yes
Insolation
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.
it does reach the earth in light energy.
i think instead of energy,u meant light.if that's the case,most of it is lost and some is absorbed the suspended particulate matter.
The suns energy when it reaches the earth's atmosphere encounters earth's plasma and three things happens. Some of the energy is reflected , some is absorbed and the rest is transmitted to the earth.
It feeds the plants which gos in the food cycle and gos to the animal's then to us people and food chain!
Most of it travels to Earth via light, and similar electromagnetic waves.
In order to get to Earth (through a vacuum) it must be converted into radiation. Note that some energy reaches Earth as the "solar wind - mostly charged particles. This is a very small percentage.
About 50 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface. In addition, about 9 percent is reflected.About 22 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is reflected by clouds and the atmosphere.About 19 percent of the Sun's incoming energy is absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere.
