The white light.
Actually light and heat is one of the most important things we get from the sun which fosters life on earth. Without light plants will not carry out photosynthesis and ultimately they will die. Heat keeps our earths temperature warm otherwise the earth will freeze.
The most important star for Earth is the Sun. It provides heat and light, which are essential for life on our planet. Without the Sun, Earth would not have the necessary conditions to support life as we know it.
Radiation from the Sun-it's been going for a long time!
True. The majority of Earth's heat is stored in the mantle, which is the layer of Earth located between the crust and the core. This heat is generated by the decay of radioactive elements and leftover heat from the planet's formation.
Incandescent light bulbs give off the most heat compared to other types of light bulbs because they produce light as a byproduct of heat. This is due to the way they function by passing an electric current through a filament, which heats up and emits light.
the Sun
Heat!!!!!! While the sun does produce a lot of heat, none of it reaches Earth. What reaches Earth is electromagnetic energy (light). Some of this light is converted to heat here on Earth, such as some of the light that hits your skin.
Most of the light's energy gets converted into heat.
The way heat is transferred from the sun to Earth is because heat from the Sun is transferred to the Earth by a process known as Radiation. Most objects in the universe continuously radiate light off of their exposed surfaces due to their temperature. The hotter an object is, the more energy this discharge light will contain.

"The star around which the Earth orbits, which provides light and heat to the planet."
The moon does not radiate any heat or light of its own, it merely reflects the sun's heat and light. But since the moon is many times smaller than the sun, it only receives a small fraction of the heat and light -- and much less when it is in the shadow of the earth. However, most of the heat and light striking the moon is absorbed by the moon itself, or is reflected into space, thus there's very little reflected back to earth.

Ultraviolet light does not directly heat Earth's atmosphere the most. Rather, visible light, including blue light, and infrared radiation from the Sun are primarily responsible for heating Earth's atmosphere through interactions with the surface and the gases in the atmosphere. Ultraviolet light mainly affects the ozone layer in the stratosphere, which plays a crucial role in protecting the Earth from harmful UV radiation.
Most of the earth's light comes from the sun.
The layer in which the Earth receives the most energy is the photosphere
