Heat is collected by earth due essentially to two phenomena:
It is interesting to note that the second point is not always negligible: in cities for example a local climate is created due to heat released by heating systems in houses and heat creation by cars and similar vehicles.
Sun radiation is partially reflected to the space at the entrance into the atmosphere so dispersing a part of the sun radiated heat. This is an important phenomenon since it depends on the radiation frequency being very high at high frequencies. Thus the atmosphere partially shield the earth by ultraviolet, X rays and gamma rays.
The heat conveying radiation that reaches the earth surface is absorbed and rises hearth surface temperature.
Since hearth is at a temperature higher than absolute zero it emits, in this case in the infrared frequency bands. This emitted radiation partially leaves the atmosphere contributing to the heat dissipation towards out space.
the same phenomenon affects human generated heat: it is generated by high temperature sources that radiates in the infrared spectral region so diffusing part of the generated heat towards outer space.
Heat on Earth escapes into space primarily through radiation. The atmosphere can trap some heat through the greenhouse effect, but ultimately, the excess heat is radiated back out to space. This process helps maintain Earth's temperature balance.
Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and water vapor trap heat near Earth by absorbing and re-radiating infrared radiation. This process leads to the greenhouse effect, where heat is trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. Clouds and ice also reflect sunlight back into space, helping to regulate the Earth's temperature.
The Sun's energy is transmitted by electromagnetic radiation, with most of the heat caused by ultraviolet radiation striking the Earth's surface. This heat is re-radiated by infrared radiation.
The clouds play a role similar to the ozone layer. Ultra violet radiation coming from the sun strikes the clouds and the ozone layer and is repelled back into space allowing only "safe" light waves to hit the Earth. The ground absorbs heat, and then releases it. The rising heat reaches the clouds and is reflected back down to the Earth.
A space shuttle is launched using rocket boosters and liquid fuel engines to reach space. Once in space, it orbits the Earth until it has completed its mission, after which it re-enters the Earth's atmosphere, gliding back to Earth using its aerodynamic shape and heat shield to protect it during re-entry. Finally, it lands like a plane on a runway.
No, heat from the sun is transmitted to the Earth through radiation. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids like air or water. In the case of the sun, the heat travels through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth.
Heat is a form of energy. It can be transmitted through space but it does not occupy space.
During the day, the part of Earth you are on gets heat from the sun faster than it can radiate that heat back into space. At night, Earth is still radiating heat back into space, but where you are is not getting heat from the sun, so the temperature drops.
The 3 things that can happen to radiated heat when it arrives at any surface are:1. It can be Transmitted2. Absorbed3. Reflected

i don't know, so suck it . <3
The sun heats the earth but at night their is no sun and the heat of the soil is radiates back into space.
High clouds (like cirrus clouds) tend to have a cooling effect on the Earth's surface by reflecting incoming solar radiation back to space. Low clouds (like stratus clouds) can have a warming effect by trapping heat and reducing the amount of outgoing longwave radiation that escapes into space.
Infrared radiation from the sun warms the Earth's surface. This heat energy is then radiated back into space as longwave infrared radiation. This process is known as the greenhouse effect.
The Sun's energy is transmitted by electromagnetic radiation, with most of the heat caused by ultraviolet radiation striking the Earth's surface. This heat is re-radiated by infrared radiation.
Both light and heat are forms of energy that can be transmitted through space. They can both be emitted from a source and detected by the senses. Additionally, both light and heat can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted by various materials.
