The sun emits electromagnetic energy pretty much across the electromagnetic spectrum. Pick a low radio frequency and the sun emits electromagnetic energy in that band. The sun emits all kinds of electromagnetic (EM) energy. From the higher frequencies (higher energies and shorter wavelengths) down, out star emits gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet (UV) rays, visible light, infrared (IR) rays, microwaves, high frequency radio frequency (RF) waves and all the rest. Radiation from the sun interferes with AM radio in the 520 - 1700 kHz band, and even lower frequency electromagnetic energy like the very low frequency (VLF) bands used in . We can "see" or "hear" the electromagnetic noise of the sun just about anywhere we care to look or listen (depending on which word you prefer) with optical or radio telescopes, or even a longwave radio reciever.

How long are the wavelengths of radiation emitted by Earth are?
Longer than those emitted by the Sun
What is it called when earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching it?
A Lunar Eclipse
How does the length of day effect the amount of energy reaching the Earth?
The earth's prbit around the sun is not circular, it is an ellipse. the earth is further from the sun at the ends of the ellipse than when it is in the middle. The length of day is a local effect, based on the angling of the earth's axis towards the sun. When the days are longest in the northern hemisphere they are shortest in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa. These days occur when the earth is at its orbit's greatest distance from the sun. When the days are closest to being as long as the nights, the earth is at its orbit's shortest distance from the sun. When the earth is nearest the sun it receives a greater amount of energy than when it is further away.
If the sun faces north will it be night in the east?
yes, all stars the sun and moon rise in the east and set in the west, this is due to the rotation of the Earth
The wavelengths of radiation emitted by Earth are?
they are longer than those emitted by the sun.
Which type of radiation from the sun is the longest wavelength?
Radio waves are at the long wavelength end of the sun's emissions.
What is an eclispe?
When the moon blocks the Sun's light from reaching Earth, and also when our planet Earth blocks the Sun's light from reaching the moon.
The reason the Sun's radiant energy is of shorter wavelengths than the Earth's is because the Sun?
The Sun is hotter.
Can humans see all the wavelengths or light that arrive on earth from the sun?
no
Which is the longest distance from sun to earth?
Aphelion
The Earth is warmed by solar energy. How is this energy transferred from the sun to the Earth?
By radiation: mainly in the infrared wavelengths.
Is it true that During a lunar eclipse Earth's shadow blocks light from reaching the sun?
No. Earth's shadow blocks sunlight reaching the Moon.
When the moon is between the earth in the sun?
When the moon is directly between the earth and the sun, it's a solar eclipse, because the moon blocks the light from the sun from reaching the earth.
Why do the earth receive a distribution of wavelengths instead of just one?
The Sun light is not monochromatic.
How long are the wavelengths of radiation emitted by Earth are?
Longer than those emitted by the Sun
What is it called when earth blocks the sun's rays from reaching it?
A Lunar Eclipse
What is the definition of solar capital?
Solar energy from the sun reaching the earth.
