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.
What is the process in which sun rays reach the Earth?
RadiationHeat can't travel through a vacuum, directly, so the sun emits energy as light. The earth receives about a two billionth of the sunlight emitted, but the light is converted to heat and other energy forms.
Which form of energy is unable to travel through a vacuum?
In the first chapter of his book, Quantum Theory, David Bohm discusses potential energy transfers from empty space to, within, and out of blackbody radiators, where he develops a formula for the total energy in empty space to be the sum of contributions by electric and magnetic fields integrated over all space available to the respective fields.In the last chapter of the book, Bohm discusses the necessity for both small scale and large scale potentials to interact (quantum with classical), in order "for a specific potentiality to be realized irrevocably at the expense of all other potentialities."Thus, in empty space, energy transfers would be limited to changes in energy potentials. In theory, particle/anti-particle pairs can be created from vacuum energy, and the particle-pair either recombines and annihilates; or one of the pair can transfer into a black hole, while the other waves along its merry way.a: pay attention to THE WORD THEORY
What type of energy do stars give off?
The primary form of radiation coming from the sun is electromagnetic radiation, in less technical terms Light. Light of all types, radio, microwave, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, gammaray As alpha and beta radiation are helium nuclei & electrons, those two stream off the sun in the form of solar wind, but aren't the primary form of "radiation"
Why does the temperature change when you move away from the sun?
Temperature of what? Temperature is a "property" of material. Farther away from the sun, the heat (radiation) has spread out over such a wider area that the amount of energy per square foot available to heat anything gets smaller and smaller. Or do you just mean "when you step into a shadow"? Then you are not receiving direct radiation from the sun at all.
What is energy that can move through empty space is what?
radiation
How does the suns energy move through outer space?
Radiation.
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.
What kind of energy can travel in waves and can move through empty spaces?
Electromagnetic.
What is the transfer of heat through energy waves called?
Transfer of heat energy through energy waves is called radiation.
What are 3 ways heat energy can move?
Conduction through solids, convection through liquids and gases, and radiation through empty space.
How does heat move through the environment by radiation?
Just as light energy moves in the form of electromagnetic waves
How does thermal energy move from one object to another?
Through one of three means: conduction, convection, radiation.
How does the energy from fusion move through the star?
It is mainly by radiation, but in the star's outer less dense area there will also be convection.
What does solar energy move from the sun to the earth by?
radiation
When atoms are moved by radiation in what direction do they move?
radiation can travel through air
Does the energy move from earths surface and atmosphere out of space through radiation conduction or convection?
conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth
