Energy, from the sun, reaches us in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
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.
Sources of energy, such as sunlight, reach the troposphere through radiation. Energy from the sun passes through the Earth's atmosphere and is absorbed by the surface, which then heats up and warms the air in the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere.
The main sources of energy that reach the troposphere are solar radiation and infrared radiation emitted by the Earth's surface. Solar radiation heats the Earth's surface, which in turn emits thermal (infrared) radiation back into the atmosphere. This energy exchange drives atmospheric circulation and weather patterns within the troposphere.
RadiationHeat can't travel through a vacuum, directly, so the sun emits energy as light. The earth receives about a two billionth of the sunlight emitted, but the light is converted to heat and other energy forms.
Energy from the Sun is transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves, primarily in the form of visible light and infrared radiation. These waves travel through the vacuum of space and reach Earth's atmosphere, where they are absorbed and converted into heat energy. This process is crucial for sustaining life on Earth through photosynthesis and regulating the planet's temperature.
it does reach the earth in light energy.
radiant energy
That would depend on which type and form of energy you are referring to. Light energy takes about 8 minutes to reach Earth from 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.

no becuase some energy bounces off the moon
Energy, in the form of radiation, takes about 8 minutes to reach from the surface of Sun to the surface of Earth.
That depends a lot on where the energy is released, and what form of energy you are talking about.
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
it goes into the inner core.
499 seconds.
The ozone hole allows some radiations to reach the earth's surface. These radiations are high energy UV radiations.
