Heat.
Energy, in the form of radiation, takes about 8 minutes to reach from the surface of Sun to the surface of Earth.
That would depend on which type and form of energy you are referring to. Light energy takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.
The energy from the Sun is solar energy.
Sunlight is a form of energy that travels from the sun to the Earth in the form of electromagnetic radiation. This energy sustains life on Earth through photosynthesis and helps provide warmth and light.
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.
Geothermal energy is the only form of energy that is not derived from the sun. It is generated from the Earth's internal heat.

Radiation
Energy in the form of light.
Energy from the sun travels to Earth in the form of electromagnetic radiation, primarily in the form of sunlight. This energy is transmitted through the vacuum of space and reaches the Earth through radiation.
The size of the sun determines its temperature and the amount of energy radiated. Electromagnetic energy from the sun comes to Earth in the form of radiation.
It will take 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth. The actual heat of the sun does not reach all the way out to Earth. The warmth on Earth comes from the conversion of light energy to heat energy.
