What is solar wave how much height it reaches?
I don't recognise your terms 'solar wave' and 'height'. Solar energy is emitted from the sun and reaches earth as radiation in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared bands. the totoal falling on 1 square meter of earths surface (on average) is 230 watts.
What energy travels through empty space to warm the earth?
Since we are talking about warming, what you are looking for is heat or more properly thermal energy, But there is a problem as thermal energy cannot travel through empty space as this form of energy is defined in terms of the vibrations of matter at the atomic/molecular level.What travels through empty space and when it arrives on earth produces these vibrations in matter that will warm the earth is electromagnetic radiation, primarily radiation in the infrared and visible light bands. The energy in this radiation is electromagnetic in nature and is cyclicly exchanged back and forth between the electric and magnetic fields of the wave.

venus (in terms of distance from the sun). In terms of distance from the earth, it is Mars In terms of size, it is Saturn.
Why does the moon waxes and wane?
These are just terms that we use to describe the moon's appearance as its month-long lunar day unfolds for us. The phases of the moon are simply the way the moon appears to us as we watch one lunar day pass. As we look at the moon, we can describe its phase changes this way. When the moon is new and before it reaches half-lit, it is 'waxing crescent'; it's getting bigger, and it's still shaped like a crescent. After the half-illumination point, it is waxing gibbous; it's getting bigger, and it's beyond the crescent stage. After the full moon and before it reaches half-lit, it is waning gibbous, and after that it is waning crescent.

What is radiation in heat terms?
Radiation is when no atoms or molecules are involved in the transfer of heat or energy. This is when energy can travel through empty space . Ex:sun heats earth through space;radiation.
Conduction convection and radiation are describing what process?
In simple terms, conduction, convection and radiation describe the three modes involved in the transformation of heat energy from one place to another.
