because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.

∙ 11y agoBecause of the earths gravity and the suns gravitys force against each other do not move each other.
Another Answer
(They actually do move each other)
The speed which the Earth travels keeps Earth in orbit around the sun. If the Earths' speed were to increase, it would move farther and farther away from the Sun, eventually leaving the solarsystem (or maybe falling into orbit around one of the gas giants). If Earths' speed were to decrease, it would move closer and closer to the Sun, eventually falling into it. If Earths' speed were to halt, then it would fall straight into the Sun.

Is it important that there is a balanced exchange of thermal energy between the Sun and the Earth?
yes
What is the The warming of earth caused by atmosphere trapping thermal energy from the sun called?
greenhouse effect
Where is the greater amount of the sun's thermal energy concentrated on earth?
The equator. On average, it is angled i such a way that the sun's rays hit it most directly
How is thermal energy transfered in Earth?
I hate Robyn Turner
Does the sun have more or less gravity than earth?
I think the planet earth has more gravity
Why the earth is not thermal equilibrium with the sun?
because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.
Why is earth not in thermal equilibrium with the sun?
because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.
Why the earth is not in thermal equilibrium with yhe sun?
To be in thermal equilibrium, it would have to have the same temperature. (It isn't.)
Why must it be the sun that provides thermal energy to the earth?
Sun provides heat to earth's surface. It provides thermal energy to the earth.
Is earth and sun in thermal contact?
No, heat travels from the sun to earth by radiation.
Why earth is not equilibrium with sun?
While the earth and the sun are roughly at steady state (the output of the sun stays fairly constant and the earth absorbs the energy from it at a fairly constant rate) they are not in equilibrium. To be at equilibrium, they would have to be sending out and receiving equal amounts of energy and mass. The sun sends out far more energy than the earth as well as dumping a lot more mass, in the form of "solar winds" than the earth ever does - thus they are not in equilibrium.

What is special about the entropy in thermodynamic equilibrium compared to all statesof a system?
In thermal equilibrium, and only in thermal equilibrium, entropy is constant.
Two bodies Are in rotational equilibrium if they are at the same temperature?
They are in thermal equilibrium, not rotational equilibrium.
Why the earth is not in thermal equlibrium with the sun?
Most likely because the Sun is constantly performing nuclear fusion, while Earth is not.
How the sun transfer energy to earth?
the sun transfer the heat to earth by radiation of heat
Is there a change in an objects thermal energy if the object is at thermal equilibrium?
no
