Does more energy reach us through conduction or radiation?
Most of the solar energy we get comes through radiation. So we get more energy via radiation, than conduction.
How does heat from the sun reach us?
Sunlight or Solar Radiation is essentially photons, or packets of energy, emmited from the suns surface, which are able to travel through the vacuum of space at the speed of light. This comes to us in a range of wavelengths, including Visible light, Ultra violet and Infra red radiation.
What is happening inside the sun that allows us to see it?
Inside the Sun - in the core - energy is produced. This keeps the Sun hot, producing the radiation which we see.Inside the Sun - in the core - energy is produced.

Does heat reach us from the sun by convection?
Heat from the sun reaches Earth by radiation. Convection involves air movement, so heat from a forced air furnace would be an example of convection, as would heat in a convection oven which is basically a regular oven with a fan to distribute the heat more evenly.
What layer protects us from what kind of radiation?
The ozone layer protects us from the radiation of sun. This radiation is called ultraviolet radiation and is very harmful.
How does heat energy reach us from the sun?
By electromagnetic radiation - including visible light.

How does energy from the sun reaches us?
Radiation.
How does energy reach the earth?
Energy, from the sun, reaches us in the form of electromagnetic radiation.

Explain how the energy from the sun travels from the sun and allows us to feels its warmth on your face?
The energy travels from the sun through the form of radiation. We feel the UV part of that radiation, which transfers it's energy to our skin cells, which heat up as a result.
Why is radiant energy useful to us?
radiant energy is important to us because the sun is emittating radiation to the earth, through space
The sun's energy reaches us by a method called?
Mainly through radiation (electromagnetic waves, especially light).
What is a form of oxygen that protects us from high-energy radiation emitted by the sun?
Ozone
How does sunlight come to earth?
Electromagnetic energy from the Sun crosses the interplanetary void in about 8 minutes to reach Earth. The energy reaches us as electromagnetic radiation in a very wide range of wavelengths. Some of these wavelengths can be sensed directly by humans as heat and light. Some wavelengths (frequencies) are transformed by interaction with matter into other wavelengths that interact with the hydrosphere, biosphere, etc. to make life on Earth possible.
Is the sun a source of sound and electrical energy?
No. At least, sound and electricity doesn't reach us directly from the Sun. What we receive is the sunlight - light energy.
