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.
The three main influences on the input of solar energy to the Earth are the distance between the Earth and the Sun, the angle at which the sunlight reaches the Earth's surface (known as the solar angle), and the amount of atmosphere the sunlight has to travel through before reaching the Earth's surface. These factors determine the intensity and distribution of solar energy received by different parts of the Earth.
