It may be called by different names, for example:* Solar energy
* Solar radiation
* Electromagnetic waves
* Light (actually this is only part of the radiation we receive)

What energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?
the energy transferred to the earth is called, electromagnetic radiation.
What does earth's energy budget mean?
It's the amount of energy given out by the sun, and the energy received by the earth. Within that is the energy reflected and the energy given off from the earth.
The primary method of energy transfer by which Earth loses energy to outer space is?
Earth loses energy to outer space through radiation.
Transfer of energy from sun to earth?
Of the three types of heat transfer; Conduction, Convection and Radiation - only radiation (or electromagnetic radiation) is received directly from the sun by earth (though it may get converted once it arrives at Earth). This is due to space being a Vacuum, so convection and conduction don't carry the suns energy. Addition: The sun transfers gravitational energy E = -meGMs/r, to the earth.
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through what?
Energy can enter the earth system from internal sources through convection and from external sources through radiation from the Sun (solar energy).

What is The Energy From The Sun To Earth?
the energy transferred to the earth is called, electromagnetic radiation.
What is the energy from the sun that is received by the earth known as?
radiation, ultraviolet, infared
What energy is transferred from the sun to the earth?

What does earth's energy budget mean?
It's the amount of energy given out by the sun, and the energy received by the earth. Within that is the energy reflected and the energy given off from the earth.
How does the suns energy reach Earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
What is the source of energy that drives convection within the Earth's atmosphere?
radiation received from the Sun
What transfer energy through empty space is called?
Transferring energy through empty space is called radiation. There are three types of energy transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. Radiation is the only energy transfer that does not require a medium. Radiation is a wave of pure energy; one example of radiation is the sunlight that reaches Earth, which is electromagnetic radiation.
The process by which heat energy is transmitted from the sun to the earth?
Radiation, called Solar Radiation. Radiant energy in produced in the sun by nuclear fusion.
Is the balance between incoming radiation and outgoing heat called radiation balance?
Is the equation of incoming and outgoing thermal radiation. Incoming radiation or solar radiation is called short wave and the radiation emitted from the earths surface and atmosphere (heat radiation) is in the infra -red spectrum and is known as long wave radiation.
