Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
It will take 8 minutes for the light from the sun to reach Earth. The actual heat of the sun does not reach all the way out to Earth. The warmth on Earth comes from the conversion of light energy to heat energy.
Light from the Sun contains energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. These waves travel through space and reach Earth, where they provide energy for various processes such as photosynthesis, heating the atmosphere, and driving the Earth's climate system.
The energy from the Sun is solar energy.
The energy that reaches the Earth from the sun is known as sunlight.
The sun produces energy via nuclear fusion. Electromagnetic energy in the form of light travels through the vacuum of space to reach earth via what we call radiation.
That would depend on which type and form of energy you are referring to. Light energy takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth from the Sun.

Energy, in the form of radiation, takes about 8 minutes to reach from the surface of Sun to the surface of Earth.

no becuase some energy bounces off the moon

The process that transfers energy from the sun to the earth is called radiation. The sun emits energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which travels through space to reach the earth. This energy is then absorbed by the earth's atmosphere and surface, where it is converted into heat and other forms of energy that power Earth's systems.
Energy generated in the sun's core through nuclear fusion can take up to a million years to travel to the surface and be released as sunlight. Once released, it takes about 8 minutes for the sunlight to travel the 93 million miles to reach Earth.
8.3333 minutes to reach Earth.
As the sun's rays heat up the earth, the radiation hits the atmosphere. Then the radiation heads back to the sun.
it does reach the earth in light energy.
RadiationHeat can't travel through a vacuum, directly, so the sun emits energy as light. The earth receives about a two billionth of the sunlight emitted, but the light is converted to heat and other energy forms.
