How does the heat reach the sun?

With the exception of vanishingly small amounts from other stars, heat does not reach the sun. The sun is a source of heat due to the nuclear fusion underway in its interior.


How long does it take for heat of the Sun fusion reactions to reach the sun's surface?

From the surface of the sun the heat radiations take 8 minutes to reach the surface of hte earth.


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 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.


How long will it take earth to get to the sun?

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.


Why heat cannot reach the earth from the sun by conduction or convection?

Heat from the sun cannot reach the earth through conduction or convection because space is a vacuum and does not contain matter to transfer heat. Heat from the sun reaches the earth through radiation, as electromagnetic waves travel through the vacuum of space.


Why cant you go to the sun?

The heat generated in the sun prevents us from reaching it. The heat is about 5500 degrees celcius and no ordinary human or supernatural machine can reach the sun.


How long will it take the get the suns heat 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.


What type of heat transfer allows the Sun's heat to reach the Earth?

The Sun's heat reaches the Earth through radiation, which is a type of heat transfer where energy is transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves.


Do heat and light from the sun have to pass through the atmosphere to reach earth?

Yes, both heat and light from the sun need to pass through Earth's atmosphere to reach the surface of the planet. The atmosphere allows some of the sun's energy to pass through and reach the surface while also absorbing and reflecting some of it.


How come you can feel the sun when it is so far away?

It's because the sun is so hot that its heat can reach earth. If you think about it it's pretty cool because were so far away but its heat can still reach us.


Is heat from the sun transmitted to the earth by convection?

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.
