The sun is the only star close enough to provide Earth with any significant amount of energy. The amount of light reaches Earth from other stars is just enough so that we can see them.

Why does Earth only get heat and light energy from the sun and not any other stars when some stars are 100 times bigger than it?

Earth technically receives some energy from other stars, but only a miniscule amount. This is because those stars are millions of times more distant than the sun.

Why does earth get more energy from the sun than other stars in the universe combined?

Earth receives more energy from the Sun than from all other stars combined because the Sun is much closer to Earth than any other star. The distance to the Sun is approximately 93 million miles (about 150 million kilometers), allowing its energy to reach us directly and in large quantities. In contrast, other stars are vastly farther away, resulting in their energy being spread over much greater distances and thus significantly diminished by the time it reaches Earth. This proximity, combined with the Sun's size and output, makes it the dominant source of energy for our planet.

Why earth receives more energy from the sun than from any other star?

Earth receives more energy from the sun than from any other star because the sun is much closer to Earth compared to other stars. The sun's proximity allows its energy to have a greater impact on our planet's temperature and weather patterns. Additionally, the sun is a relatively stable and long-lasting source of energy, making it a key driver of life on Earth.

Where does Earths energy come from?

The vast majority of energy on earth comes from the sun. The remainder is received through solar flares or radiations from other stars.


What type of energy is received on earth from the sun and other stars?

Heat, visible light, and infrared light (UV Rays) are the three main types of energy emitted from the sun and stars. Although, around 30% of it does get forced back into space.
