There are several reasons why the Earth does not have a uniform temperature at all points on the globe and it is almost entirely a consequence of uneven heating by the Sun and the way that heat energy is distributed once it arrives.
The earth is round, which means that near the equator the rays are striking almost perpendicularly while at the poles the rays reach the surface at an almost flat angle. The flatter angle makes the radiation less intense.
Not all light that strikes the Earth is absorbed. There is a portion that is reflected and that varies depending on the type of covering on the Earth. (This fraction of light reflected is called the albedo.) Oceans and land and forests and snow all have a different albedo.
The distribution of heat around the globe is determined by a complex weather process that depends on the distribution of landmasses and oceans. The movement of air and water is further affected by Earth's rotation.
Seasons are a result of the tilt of Earth's axis relative to the plane it orbits the sun in. As a result, the Northern Hemisphere has winter when the North pole is tilted away from the sun, and some parts won't even get any sunlight for a couple of months.
Some of the effect, such as the ocean and wind currents, tend to distribute heat more evenly, for instance from the equator towards the poles. Other effects, such as albedo cause less sunlight to be absorbed by snow and so colder regions tend to stay colder. The variety that exists is actually beneficial to life on Earth.
The Sun does not heat Earth evenly because of its spherical shape and the tilt of its axis. Different regions receive sunlight at different angles, affecting the amount of heat they receive. This causes variations in temperature and weather patterns across the planet.
The sun does not heat the Earth evenly because of the tilt of the Earth. The sun will heat the part of the Earth that is closer to it more than it will heat the part that is further away, which is what causes the seasons.
Conduction requires particles transferring energy to their neighbouring particles by vibrating. The vibrations carry on in a 'chain.' Convection uses particles to in a way 'carry' the thermal energy. There are no particles in space so neither process is possible. Radiation however travels by electro-magnetic waves which do not need particles so that is how the sun's heat reaches us.
Because atmosphere and the contaminants absorb some part of radiations.
It is absorbed by the atmosphere
because of the atsmostre
Yes. Earth will be gone because the sun expands. and when the sun expand the heat in the sun will disintegrate earth by its powerful heat source
No, the heat in space is very different from the heat on Earth. In space, there is no atmosphere to trap heat, so objects in direct sunlight can become extremely hot while those in the shade can become very cold. On Earth, the atmosphere helps regulate the temperature and distribute heat more evenly.
the sun? Yes, I am pretty sure the Sun is a major source of heat for the Earth
sun
Sun sends heat energy to earth.
No.
If the sun burned out all life on Earth would cease to exist. There would be no heat.
It is transferred by the energy of photons and heat radiation. Convection doesnt work as there is vacuum between sun and earth.

The sun's energy. The sun does not heat all surfaces of the earth evenly the differences of temperature between the tropics, poles, land, sea cause air movement - wind
The sun does not have an atmosphere. In the earth, the temperature in the different layers is not evenly distributed.
Ocean currents are responsible for mixing heat evenly throughout the ocean. These currents transport warm water from the equator towards the poles and bring cold water from the poles towards the equator, helping to regulate global temperature. Winds also play a role in driving ocean currents and redistributing heat.
The sun doesn't heat and power things like weather evenly. Since the Earth is a sphere, different parts of the world absorb heat at different rates. The energy from the sun enters and leaves Earth through absorption.
Heat from the sun transfers to Earth through radiation.
Heat transfers in the Earth primarily through conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs through the Earth's crust and mantle as heat moves from the interior towards the surface. Convection involves the movement of hot magma in the mantle, creating the motion of tectonic plates. Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves emitted by the Earth's core.

The process that Earth receives heat from the sun is called radiation.
