The layer of the Sun through which energy is transferred away from the core by radiation is called the radiative zone. In this zone, energy from the core travels outward as photons, which are absorbed and re-emitted multiple times by the particles in the dense solar plasma before reaching the convective zone.

Heat from the campfire is transferred to you through radiation, which is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves. This energy is absorbed by your skin, causing it to warm up.
The energy from the sun that moves in every direction takes millions of years to leave the radiation layer because of the high density of the layer, which causes the energy to scatter and be absorbed and re-emitted many times before eventually making its way out. This process of absorption and re-emission within the radiation layer delays the escape of solar energy into space.
By radiation. The moon radiates electromagnetic energy, as does just about anything warmer than absolute zero.
Thermal energy decreases when heat is transferred to a cooler object or environment. It can also decrease through conduction, convection, or radiation, where energy is transferred away from the object in the form of heat. Additionally, reducing the temperature of the object or decreasing its volume can also lead to a decrease in thermal energy.
