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 else can I help you with?
How does the energy from the sun reach the earth?
Energy from the sun reaches the Earth through electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of visible light. This light travels through the vacuum of space and reaches the Earth's atmosphere, where it is absorbed and converted into heat energy.
The suns energy reaches the earth as what type of energy?
The sun's energy reaches the Earth as solar radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves, primarily in the form of visible light and infrared radiation.
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.
Is earth a source of light?
No, the Earth is not a source of light itself. The Earth's primary source of light is the Sun, which emits light and energy that reaches the Earth and illuminates it. The Earth reflects some of this light, which is why we can see it.
What causes the Sun's light and heat energy that reaches earth?
Among other things - your existence.
How is sunlight transformed to earth?
Sunlight reaches the Earth in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The Earth's atmosphere absorbs and scatters some of this light, and the rest reaches the surface of the Earth. This sunlight is then converted to heat and light energy, providing energy for plant growth, weather patterns, and various Earth processes.
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?
Approximately 1-2% of the visible light that reaches Earth's producers is converted to chemical energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then used by the producers to fuel their growth and metabolic processes.
What is the source of light and heat energy for the earth?
The primary source of light and heat energy for Earth is the Sun. The Sun's radiation travels through space and reaches Earth, providing the energy necessary for life to exist on our planet.
What is the earths primary source of light energy?
The Sun is Earth's primary source of light energy. It emits light in the form of electromagnetic radiation that reaches Earth and provides energy for various processes such as photosynthesis and heating the planet.
Does energy from sun travel to earth as mechanical energy?
No, the energy from the sun travels to Earth mainly in the form of electromagnetic radiation, such as sunlight. This energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat and light, when it interacts with Earth's atmosphere and surface.
Source of energy heat and light?
The primary sources of heat and light energy on Earth are the sun and geothermal energy. The sun emits light and heat energy through nuclear fusion in its core, which reaches Earth as solar radiation. Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's internal heat, which can be harnessed for heating and electricity generation.
