I'd say no, that's an unnecessarily complicated statement based on an erroneous concept.
The 'radiant energy' IS the heat energy, just with another name. When that radiation
bumps into something that absorbs it, it becomes the additional kinetic energy of the
molecules of the substance, which begin to dance and fly around faster, and we perceive
that change as an increase in the temperature of the substance.

Compare and contrast radiant energy and sound energy?
This is a statement not a question. Do a Venn diagram to help you answer it.
What types of energy and matter does the sun release?
Radiant energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Matter in the form of charged, uncharged and massless particles
Is wind a form of radiant energy?
No. Because wind consists of moving molecules of gas (matter), the energy involved is kinetic. However, wind ultimately has its source in the effects of radiant energy from the sun on the earth's surface and atmosphere..
Do radiant energy need a matter to travel?
No. As an example, the light from the Sun travels through empty space to reach us.
What process does the sun produces energy from matter in its core?
Its called fusion, where two nuclei fuse together to create energy.
Does radiant energy produce heat energy when it strikes matter?
To the extent to which the energy is absorbed, yes. Reflectivity and color determine how much energy is absorbed, but no matter can reflect 100% of the energy striking it. Some will be absorbed by the molecules.
How does energy get its power?
energy get its power from the radiant energy and from the matter that the energy get its energy.

What types of energy and matter does the sun release?
Radiant energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. Matter in the form of charged, uncharged and massless particles
How does radiant waves transfer heat energy?
By exciting the atoms in the matter. Pr. definition, heat is the jiggling of atoms, the radiant energy is shaking the atoms, by doing this the heat is transferred and absorbed.
Is wind a form of radiant energy?
No. Because wind consists of moving molecules of gas (matter), the energy involved is kinetic. However, wind ultimately has its source in the effects of radiant energy from the sun on the earth's surface and atmosphere..
The sun produces energy from matter in its core through the process of?
fusion
Is light kinetic or potential energy?
good answer but its none of them light energy is radiant energy
What are some forms of energy that are related to changes in matter?
Forms of energy related to changes in matter may include kinetic, potential, chemical, electromagnetic, electrical, and thermal energy.
Do radiant energy need a matter to travel?
No. As an example, the light from the Sun travels through empty space to reach us.
How is absorption used in every day life?
Absorption works when a matter or radiant energy is taken up internally by a substance. Matter can be liquid, solid or gas and radiant energy can be ultraviolet rays, sound or heat.
What process does the sun produces energy from matter in its core?
Its called fusion, where two nuclei fuse together to create energy.
