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.

What suns energy which supports life is transmitted to Earth in the form of?
waves
What are two things that can happen to the suns rays when they enter the earth?
The two main things that happen to solar radiation that reaches earth is absorption and reflection. This happens because of the different objects on earth.
Can a planet shine by its own?
An object requires a source of energy to shine. The Earth does not. Pictures of the Earth are always taken with the reflection of the Suns energy - similar to how you see the Moon.
What would happen if the layers of gas around the earth absorbed all the suns energy?
If layers of gas around the earth absorbed all of the suns energy, the climate would generally be much cooler. If the gasses trapped the sunlight prior to exposure, the energy of the sun would never penetrate to the ground surface.
Are the Earth's radiation wave larger than the suns?
Yes, they are longer. Longer wavelengths are lower energy.
The suns energy reaches the earth as what type of energy?
radiant
How much of the suns energy reaches the earth's surface?
its about just 1%
About 50 percent of the suns energy that reaches earth is what by land and what which becomes heated?
yes
The amount of the suns energy that reaches earth at a given time and place is?
Insolation
What suns energy which supports life is transmitted to Earth in the form of?
waves
What happens when the earth's atmosphere traps energy from the sun?
The suns energy when it reaches the earth's atmosphere encounters earth's plasma and three things happens. Some of the energy is reflected , some is absorbed and the rest is transmitted to the earth.
The suns energy is a form of what type of energy-?
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.
What happens to the Suns when energy reaches Earth?
It feeds the plants which gos in the food cycle and gos to the animal's then to us people and food chain!
What are the steps the suns energy goes thourgh the reach earth?
In order to get to Earth (through a vacuum) it must be converted into radiation. Note that some energy reaches Earth as the "solar wind - mostly charged particles. This is a very small percentage.
Does most of suns energy reach earth in light energy?
it does reach the earth in light energy.
What happens to almost half of the suns energy that reaches the earth?
i think instead of energy,u meant light.if that's the case,most of it is lost and some is absorbed the suspended particulate matter.
What form of energy produces the suns heat?
Solar Energy.
