How does energy reach the earth?
Energy, from the sun, reaches us in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
The entire range of em waves is called the?
The total of all electromagnetic waves is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light waves, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, and gamma rays. Only visible light waves, which humans see as the band of colors from red to violet, are the portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye, although many other life forms are sensitive to infrared and possibly to other segments the spectrum.
Are sound waves and electromagnetic waves radiation?
Broadly speaking, radiation is anything that spreads outward from a central source. In physics, the definition of radiation is constrained to energy that has been emitted from a source, is being transferred through a media, or is propagating through space. This energy can take on the form of particles or waves. Therefore, technically, both sound waves and electromagnetic waves are radiation. However, in practical usage, you would only use the term radiation when referring to electromagnetic waves or radioactive processes. The term, "sound radiation," is rarely, if ever, used.
What is a invisble light spectrum?
Most of the electromagnetic spectrum is not visible.
Which type of electromagnetic waves have the most energy?
Gamma rays.
How does energy reach the earth?
Energy, from the sun, reaches us in the form of electromagnetic radiation.
How does the sun' energy travel to the earth?
Electromagnetic radiation... i.e., light. Electromagnetic Waves A+
Most of the waves in the electromagnetic spectrum are?
Invisible. The only light is in the visible light section. lol. :)

How does the suns energy travle to earth?
Most of it travels to Earth via light, and similar electromagnetic waves.
Do electromagnetic waves play an important rules in your life?
Yes. Without electromagnetic waves, you wouldn't be able to see; more importantly, there might be no life on Earth, since most of the energy we use comes from the Sun, in the form of electromagnetic waves.
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves?
The waves that are the most infictint are the seismic waves
How do electromagnetic waves travel through a medium?
electromagnetic waves generally don't require a medium to travel. the most commonly visible example is "light" which may be either sun's light, light from a bulb or any other source. they travel as transverse waves.
What penetrates the earth's atmosphere to reach the surface?
Electromagnetic radiation from the sun, most in the form of visible light.
What waves don't need matter to travel through?
Electromagnetic Waves do not require a medium, or matter to move through, to transfer waves. This includes radiowaves, microwaves, infared waves, visible light waves, Ultraviolet waves, X-rays, and gamma rays.

The Sun transfers most of its heat by means of?
Convection and radiation (internally) and radiation (externally).
