The source of the sun's energy, as well as that of every star, is nuclear fusion
in its core. The only way we're able to use nuclear fusion consistently on Earth
so far is in the explosions of large nuclear weapons, but we're working on the
ability to control other applications.

What causes the Sun's light and heat energy that reaches earth?
Among other things - your existence.
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.
Does energy from sun travel to earth as mechanical energy?
No never as mechanical energy. It reaches mainly as light and heat
How does the sun give its energy to the Earth when space has no gravity?
The light travel directly through the vacuum and reaches earth
What is the sun most responsible in producing?
Heat!!!!!! While the sun does produce a lot of heat, none of it reaches Earth. What reaches Earth is electromagnetic energy (light). Some of this light is converted to heat here on Earth, such as some of the light that hits your skin.
Approximately what percentage of the visible light that reaches Earth's producers is converted to chemical energy?
1%
Why only a small amount of the light energy from the sun that reaches the earth is used during photosynthesis?
i have no answer
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
How you receive heat and light from the sun?
Energy from the Sun reaches Earth as radiation from various parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Some of this energy . Some of this energy is converted to heat. Some remains as visible light.
What does solar energy reach earth by?
Solar energy reaches the earth by two means, Electricity and Gravity.
What causes an increase in thermal energy?
heat is the cause in the increase in thermal energy. the sun also causes it one the earth, because the heat from the sun projects light in a beam onto the earth and heats up the earth.
The two most important processes by which energy is transported from the core of the Sun to the photosphere are?
Solar energy is practically light. Light travels through waves. But yes, solar energy is light. It brings heat to the earth, which is solar energy.
