What else can I help you with?
What can radiation not do that convection and conduction can do?
Since radiation is done by electromagnetic waves, it can travel through space. i.e no matter is required. That way you can heat up objects through space. Or, for example, the earth gets heated by the suns electromagnetic waves.
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.
What is the process that transfers the suns energy from particle to particle?
The process that transfers the Sun's energy from particle to particle is called radiation. In this process, energy is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light and heat, which travel through the vacuum of space and are absorbed by particles in the Sun's atmosphere and eventually reach Earth.
What heat transfer method is used to capture the suns energy?
Solar energy is primarily captured using radiation heat transfer. Solar panels are designed to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity or heat through the process of photovoltaics or solar thermal technology.
The suns energy reaches the earth as what type of energy?
The sun's energy reaches the Earth as solar radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves, primarily in the form of visible light and infrared radiation.
Does most of suns energy reach earth in light energy?
it does reach the earth in light energy.
How long it takes the suns light to reach earth?
It takes approximately 8 minutes for the Sun's light to reach Earth.
When will the suns solar flares reach the earth?
about 8 to 12 minutes
What happens to the energy from the suns rise that reach earth?
it goes into the inner core.
How does the suns energy reach Earth?
Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.
How does the effect of the suns gravity on Pluto compare to the effect of the suns gravity on earth?
well pluto is so far away that the sun rays can't reach out that far for it to be warmer and for earth,the earth is much closer and could get most of the suns hot rays
How long does it take for the suns solar energy to reach earth?
About 8-1/3 minutes.
It takes 8 for energy released from suns outer layers to reach earth?
8 minutes.
Suns light takes how many minutes and seconds to reach earth?
8 minutes and 31 seconds
What happens to the suns energy that does reach earth?
Some is absorbed by the earths air water and soil. The remainder is reflected.
How long will it take the get the suns heat to earth?
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.
How is the suns source of energy for earth?
The sun provides warmth for the earth, light, and allows plants to grow, feeding you and animals, which in turn feed you again.
