Mostly by electromagnetic radiation - heat and light. But there is a Solar Wind that consists of real particles. This causes Aurora on earth at high latitudes.

What is meant by flow of energy?

The flow of energy refers to the movement and transfer of energy through different processes, systems, or organisms in an ecosystem. Energy flows from the sun to producers (plants), then to consumers (herbivores, carnivores), and eventually to decomposers. This flow of energy is essential for sustaining life on Earth.


Is energy a cycle or flow and why?

Energy does not move around in cycles. The reason is related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Here is an example: The energy from the Sun comes to Earth, where it maintains life. From Earth, the energy is radiated out into space, where it gets more and more diffuse. This energy can't be recovered again; it won't get back into the Sun - and most of it will not participate in the creation of new stars, either.


Where does energy flow start?

Energy flow typically starts with the sun, which provides energy to plants through the process of photosynthesis. Plants then transfer this energy to animals that consume them, forming the basis of most food chains and energy flow in ecosystems.


What process transfers energy from the sun to the earth?

The process that transfers energy from the sun to the earth is called radiation. The sun emits energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, which travels through space to reach the earth. This energy is then absorbed by the earth's atmosphere and surface, where it is converted into heat and other forms of energy that power Earth's systems.


Which is not drivien by energy from the sun?

The sun is by far (99.999%) where the earth gets all of it's energy from. Therefore you can make the argument that every process on earth, man or nature, is driven by the sun.

What are the two sources of energy that heat Earth's surface?

The two sources of energy that heat Earth's surface are solar radiation from the sun and geothermal energy from within the Earth's core. Solar radiation is the primary source of energy that warms the surface, while geothermal energy contributes to heat flow from the Earth's interior.

What drives energy flow and chemical cycling on earth?

Energy flow on Earth is primarily driven by the sun through photosynthesis, where plants convert sunlight into chemical energy. Chemical cycling is driven by biogeochemical processes, such as the carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles, which involve the movement of elements and compounds between living organisms, the atmosphere, soil, and water bodies. These processes are essential for sustaining life on Earth.
