Some of the most harmful radiation does not make it through the Earth's atmosphere.
Heat from the earth's interior reaches the surface through a combination of convection and conduction.
The heat of the sun reaches the earth by radiation, E = hf =hc/w.
electro-magnetic radiation(sunlight)
Heat!!!!!! While the sun does produce a lot of heat, none of it reaches Earth. What reaches Earth is electromagnetic energy (light). Some of this light is converted to heat here on Earth, such as some of the light that hits your skin.
No that is not true, heat from the Sun does not reach the Earth by means of convection.
That statement is false. The heat from the sun does NOTreach the Earth through convection.
to trap heat from the sun to shield the planet from harmful radiation and to disintigrate space debris before it reaches the surface

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 Sun's energy reaches Earth in the form of "electromagnetic radiation". Most of the heat is carried by the visible light, but there are other parts of the "spectrum" of radiation involved such as the infra-red. Much of the heat reaches you after being absorbed by the Earth in various ways and given out again. This heat contains a lot more infra-red than direct sunlight.
Energy from the sun travels to the earth's surface is brought here by electromagnetic radiation. Once the radiation reaches the planet, most of it is converted to heat.
The energy of the sun is produced by the process of nuclear fusion, and a portion of this energy reaches the Earth in the form of sunlight, which heats the Earth.
