Another example of an object that transfers heat by radiation is a fireplace.
The heat of the sun comes from nuclear fusion reactions in its core. These reactions convert hydrogen into helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy in the form of heat and light.
Most of the energy we use here on Earth ultimately comes from the Sun. That includes wind energy, water energy, coal, and many others. There are mainly two energy sources that DON'T ultimate come from the Sun. One is geothermal power; the other is tidal energy.
No, the sun is not a heat insulator. In fact, the sun is a major source of heat and radiation for the Earth. It emits heat and light energy that warms our planet.
Heat can come from various sources, such as the sun, friction, chemical reactions, and electrical currents. In general, heat is a form of energy that is transferred from one object to another due to temperature differences.
Lack of humidity
There is nothing else in the solar system which looks like the sun.
There are other sources of heat in the oceans besides the sun.. Most are underwater magma or gas outlets. However, the majority of heat in the oceans does come from the sun. Heat is necessary for convection to occur. There is a possibility for localized convection due to the alternate heat sources, but most, if not all convection would cease without the sun.

yes, as the light travels it brings along heat to all of the planets.
Yes.

From the sun's heat, it heat up rivers, ponds and seas.
Primarily, from the sun.
