no. well, over small time frames it is effectiveley yes, like over 100 years or so. but any more hundreds of years, our sensitive instruments could pick up differences. the sun changes density over time and so the earth slowly moves farther away. then assuming that the sun didnt change its power output (which it most certainly would), the power received would lessen. but, due to nuclear physics inside of the sun relying upon many internal factors (including density), it could (and i think should) get brighter, hence we would receive more energy per day. if you go off many billions of years from now, the entire face of this earth WILL be a molten sea because of this change.

From were does the earth get solar energy?
The Earth gets its solar energy from the sun. We are the perfect distance away to harvest this resource.
What 2 types of energy does the sun give to the earth?
Radioactive and solar energy (or light and heat).
Heat energy generated within the earth is called what?
my answer is the heat energy is magmaThe heat energy in earths crust is geothermal energy
How does the solar heater heats up the water in the tank?
The solar panels absorb energy from then sun, the solar energy is then transformed into heat energy causing the water to heat up.
Where do warm ocean currents originate from?
various forces, including heat from solar energy, gravity, and the Earth's rotation.
How does solar energy heat earth?
the sun heats the earth
What form of energy brings heat from the sun to earth?
Solar energy
What were the sources of heat for the protoplanet?
the sources of heat is the sun and the solar system this makes the earth have heat and energy. The sun is the earth main source of heat and energy
Does solar energy use heat from below the Earth's crust?
No.
From were does the earth get solar energy?
The Earth gets its solar energy from the sun. We are the perfect distance away to harvest this resource.
What is solar energy and how does it affect Earth?
Solar energy is the heat that sun produces to any of the planets and it affects earth because its heating a lot our planet.
What renewable energy source do you use to heat the earth?
Wood, solar energy, wind.
Is solar power a form of geothermal energy?
No geothermal energy comes from the earth such as volcanos and other sources of extreme heat. Geo meaning earth and rocks and thermal being heat. Solar energy is its own thing.
What is the amount of heat energy in the earth's surface referredd to?
Solar Constant
What type of energy is collected from the sun?
The energy collected from the sun is called solar energy. The energy gets to the earth from the sun by radiation that has been affected by the earth's atmosphere.
Which two energy sources are not directly tied to solar energy?
Tidal energy, and the heat from the interior of Earth.
What 2 types of energy does the sun give to the earth?
Radioactive and solar energy (or light and heat).
