The surface of the earth is warmed mainly by conduction or convection or radiation?
The Earth is warmed mainly by solar radiation. It is measured in kilowatt-hours per square meter per day. This is called incident solar radiation or insolation.
What energy source is beneath the Earth's surface?
Solar Energy.
How does solar energy heat earth?
the sun heats the earth
How does solar energy affect weather?
Solar energy affects earth's weather in a couple of different ways. Solar energy warms the planet and creates the wind.
What is solar energy and how does it affect Earth?
Solar energy is the heat that sun produces to any of the planets and it affects earth because its heating a lot our planet.
How can you tell if solar energy has heated Earth or if energy from the sun has transferred to Earth?
Very simply, you can "see" the sun or feel the sun's warmth. Both of these tell you that solar energy from the sun has transferred to earth.
How is the solar energy transferred to earth affected by different materials on earth?
By the sun
How is solar energy from the Sun transferred to the Earth?
It is transferred by the energy of photons and heat radiation. Convection doesnt work as there is vacuum between sun and earth.

Is solar energy same as solar cells?
No, solar energy and solar cells are not the same, although sometimes people do use the phrases as though they were interchangable. Solar energy is energy that is transferred from the sun to the earth. Solar cells are devices that turn energy from the sun into photovoltaic energy that we can use.
Heat energy is transferred from the sun to the solar panel by. what?
solar energy
How is solar energy collected and then turned into useable energy?
Solar energy can be collected in solar cells and can be transferred into storage battery converting into electrical energy.
What is an example of energy being transferred?
when solar energy gets away from the sun and the plants absorb the solar energy.
How energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?
The sun transfers energy to earth gravitationally and electrically. Energy Gravitationally = - GmeMs/r, Electric Power is transferred by Solar flux S= 4/3 Kwatts/m^2. This produces around 88E21 Joules per day.
What happens when the Sun's solar energy hits Earth?
Earth will get warmed and lit up, that's why we feel warm and can see. If there is no Sun, we will be freezed to death and always darkness is around us.

How would the earth affect the earth if earth did not have a magnetic field?
Our Sun provides the energy which allows life to exist on Earth. It is the dominant energy source for the Earth, dwarfing that produced by mankind: in an hour, the Earth receives more energy from the Sun than we generate in a Year. Knowledge of how solar energy is transferred to the Earth, and in particular how variations in solar output produces changes in our climate, is therefore essential to predict our future.
