Sunlight or Solar Radiation is essentially photons, or packets of energy, emmited from the suns surface, which are able to travel through the vacuum of space at the speed of light. This comes to us in a range of wavelengths, including Visible light, Ultra violet and Infra red radiation.

Does heat reach us from the sun by convection?

Heat from the sun reaches Earth by radiation. Convection involves air movement, so heat from a forced air furnace would be an example of convection, as would heat in a convection oven which is basically a regular oven with a fan to distribute the heat more evenly.

The sun heats us by the method of?

The sun heats us through the process of radiation. Electromagnetic waves from the sun, including infrared and visible light, travel through space and reach Earth's surface, where they are absorbed and converted into heat energy.


How far can the sun's heat reach?

The sun's heat can reach Earth and warm its surface and atmosphere. The heat dissipates the farther it travels into space. Without the sun's heat, Earth would be extremely cold and unable to support life.
