How does energy from the sun move from the core to the photosphere?

Energy from the core travels by radiation through the radiative zone, then by convection through the convection zone.


How is energy from the core of the sun transmitted to the photosphere?

Through convection inside the sun.


Does Energy from the Sun is transferred to Earth through convection?

No! Convection would require a medium and there is none such between the sun and the earth - just vacuum.


Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through what?

Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through radiation from the Sun (solar energy).


Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction?

Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun

How is energy transferred from the core to the surface of sun by convection?

By convection


How does thermal energy travel through space from Sun to Venus?

Due to the vacuum of space there is no convection or conduction. Energy is transported by photons from the Sun to Venus (radiation).


Does the Energy from the core of the Sun first travel slowly through the convection zone and then much faster through the radiation zone?

No


Is energy through sun transerred to earth through convection?

NO! Radiation. In order for convection to serve there would have to be a heat conducting medium all the way from the sun to the Earth and the Ether theory was proven wrong a life-time ago.


What is the main source of energy for convection in the atmosphere and the oceans?

The Sun is the main source of energy for convection in the atmosphere and the oceans. The Sun, heat radiated form the Sun is the main source of energy driving convection in the atmosphere and oceans. There is also a small input form geothermal energy.
