Radiant heat needs no medium, it is nothing more than long wavelength light... infrared light as a matter of fact. This is the heat you get on your skin when standing out in the noon day Sun. Further, as the meteorologist indicated, a lot of Earth's heat comes from absorbed electro magnetic energy from the Sun that is turned into lower frequency, infrared energy that is radiated back into the atmosphere.
The heat requiring a medium is convection and conduction heat. Convection is where the air moves about distributing the heat it contains. Your central house heater does this when its fan blows. Conduction is where the heat is transferred in solids, like between the burner of your electric stove and the bottom of the fry pan on top of that burner.

How does heat transfer in earth?
From the sun to the earth it is radiant heat
Will earth be gone?
Yes. Earth will be gone because the sun expands. and when the sun expand the heat in the sun will disintegrate earth by its powerful heat source
What is a source of external heat energy for the earth?
the sun? Yes, I am pretty sure the Sun is a major source of heat for the Earth
Where does the earth get most of its heat?
sun
Why type of energy does the sun send to earth?
Sun sends heat energy to earth.
What transfer method carries energy from the sun to earth?
Electro magnetic waves eg:-light,UV,heat

The sun is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, and the sun's heat carries those atoms with it.
How does heat travel from the sun to earth?
Heat from the sun transfers to Earth through radiation.

Earth receive heat from sun is called.?
The process that Earth receives heat from the sun is called radiation.
What does the sun do to the earth?
the sun gives heat to the earth so if there was no sun we would die.
How does the heat of the sun reach in earth?
The heat of the sun reaches the earth by radiation, E = hf =hc/w.
How the sun transfer energy to earth?
the sun transfer the heat to earth by radiation of heat
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
Do the earth and the moon orbit the sun since the moon orbits the earth and the earth the sun?
Yes, while the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon carries on orbiting the Earth, as it is not as affected by the distant gravity of the Sun as it is by the nearer gravity of Earth.
Where on earth is heat energy from the strongest?
where on the earth is heat energy from the sun the strongest
