Insolation, or solar radiation.
The Sun's energy is given out mainly as "electromagnetic radiation". Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Heat is the main form the Sun's energy has when it reaches Earth, particularly the Earth's surface.
The varying intensity of the sun's energy that reaches the Earth is due in part to the angle of sunlight, which changes with the Earth's tilt and orbit. This angle affects how much atmosphere the sunlight must pass through and the concentration of energy over a given area. Additionally, factors like the Earth's distance from the sun during its elliptical orbit and seasonal changes further influence the intensity of solar energy received at different locations and times.
When solar energy reaches Earth, it primarily follows two tracks: first, it is absorbed by the Earth's surface, which warms the land, oceans, and atmosphere, driving weather patterns and supporting life. Second, some of this energy is reflected back into space by clouds, ice, and land surfaces, contributing to the planet's energy balance and climate regulation.

The sun's heat reaches the Earth in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which can travel through the vacuum of space. When this radiation reaches Earth, it gets absorbed by the atmosphere and the Earth's surface, warming it up. This is why you can feel the sun's heat even though there is no air between the sun and the Earth.

The amount of the sun's energy that reaches Earth at a given time and place depends on factors such as the angle of incidence, atmospheric conditions, and geographic location. On average, about 1,366 watts per square meter of solar energy reaches the top of Earth's atmosphere, but not all of this energy reaches the surface due to absorption and scattering.
its about just 1%
yes
The sun's energy reaches the Earth as solar radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves, primarily in the form of visible light and infrared radiation.
It feeds the plants which gos in the food cycle and gos to the animal's then to us people and food chain!

About 50% of the sun's radiation that reaches Earth's atmosphere is absorbed by the Earth's surface. The remaining energy is either reflected back to space or absorbed by the atmosphere.
Approximately 30% of the Sun's energy that reaches the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere. This reflection occurs due to various factors, including clouds, atmospheric particles, and Earth's surface characteristics. The remaining energy is absorbed by the Earth, contributing to the planet's climate and weather systems.
In order to get to Earth (through a vacuum) it must be converted into radiation. Note that some energy reaches Earth as the "solar wind - mostly charged particles. This is a very small percentage.
it does reach the earth in light energy.
i think instead of energy,u meant light.if that's the case,most of it is lost and some is absorbed the suspended particulate matter.
