What is both a form of energy and a way that heat transfers energy?
Thermal energy, or heat energy, is a form of energy and a way that heat transfers energy from hot objects to cold objects.
Earth receives energy from the sun in this way?
What is radiation? Electromagnetic radiation (light, heat, X-rays, etc. & charged particles from the solar wind.
What is the only way that energy can travel from the sun to earth?
By radiation, mostly infra red, visible, and ultra violet EM radiation
Heat transfer by electromagnetic waves?
radiation
What is the difference between conduction convection and thermal energy?
Conduction and convection are two ways in which thermal energy is transferred, the third way is by radiation.
What is the process that transfers the suns energy the rest of the way to the suns surface?
radiation carried by convection.
What is the major way in which heat energy is spread through the atmosphere?
One way that heat energy is spread through the atmosphere is through radiation. Conduction and convection are two other ways that heat energy is spread through the atmosphere.
What is both a form of energy and a way that heat transfers energy?
Thermal energy, or heat energy, is a form of energy and a way that heat transfers energy from hot objects to cold objects.
What determines a temperature of a layer of the atmosphere?
The way the layer interacts with solar radiation.
What transfers thermal energy through space?
There are three mechanisms by which thermal energy (heat) is transferred through space: conduction, convection, and radiation.1Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through empty space. All objects with a temperature above absolute zero radiate energy at a rate equal to their emissivity multiplied by the rate at which energy would radiate from them if they were a black body. No medium is necessary for radiation to occur; radiation works even in and through a perfect vacuum. The energy from the Sun travels through the vacuum of space before warming the earth. Also, the only way that energy can leave earth is by being radiated to space.The transfer of thermal energy through space is called Radiation
What other energy transfers energy the same way as infrared?
All electromagnetic energy (radio, light, X-rays, etc.) do the same.
Earth receives energy from the sun in this way?
What is radiation? Electromagnetic radiation (light, heat, X-rays, etc. & charged particles from the solar wind.
What is the primary way the sun's energy goes to Earth?
radiation. heat waves
How is energy transferred within the earth's atmosphere and throughtout the oceans?
Radiation is the only way i came up with. :/

Are greenhouse gases in the atmosphere valued as fuel?
No. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere capture heat, and heat is energy, but we have no way of using this energy for ourselves as fuel. This extra energy in the atmosphere will be expended in more severe weather, like storms and cyclones.
