What else can I help you with?
What type of light delivers most of the heat from the sun to the earth?
Infrared light delivers most of the heat from the sun to the Earth. This type of light has longer wavelengths than visible light and is able to penetrate the Earth's atmosphere more effectively, transferring its energy into heat when absorbed by surfaces on the Earth's surface.
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.
What happens to most of the energy when earth surface absorbs light?
Most of the light's energy gets converted into heat.
Where does the earth get heat and light?
Earth gets heat and light from the Sun. It's heat also comes from the Earth's core.
Do the earth and moon make their own light and heat?
No. The moon reflects the sun's light and the earth is heated and lite by the sun.
Why does the earth need the light and heat of the sun?
Without light and heat Earth would be a dead and frozen planet
How is heat transferred from sun to earth?
The way heat is transferred from the sun to Earth is because heat from the Sun is transferred to the Earth by a process known as Radiation. Most objects in the universe continuously radiate light off of their exposed surfaces due to their temperature. The hotter an object is, the more energy this discharge light will contain.

Which of these is most likely to be dictionary definition of sun?
"The star around which the Earth orbits, which provides light and heat to the planet."
Why not earth radiate light?
Earth does radiate light in the form of thermal radiation, which is emitted as heat energy. This radiation is typically in the infrared range and is a result of the Earth's surface absorbing sunlight and then re-emitting it as heat.
Why is the light of moon not as hot as the sun light?
The moon does not radiate any heat or light of its own, it merely reflects the sun's heat and light. But since the moon is many times smaller than the sun, it only receives a small fraction of the heat and light -- and much less when it is in the shadow of the earth. However, most of the heat and light striking the moon is absorbed by the moon itself, or is reflected into space, thus there's very little reflected back to earth.
