Detailed explanation-1: -All of the energy from the Sun that reaches the Earth arrives as solar radiation, part of a large collection of energy called the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Solar radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. Radiation is one way to transfer heat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Energy is transferred from the sun to Earth via electromagnetic waves, or radiation. Most of the energy that passes through the upper atmosphere and reaches Earth’s surface is in two forms, visible and infrared light. The majority of this light is in the visible spectrum.
Detailed explanation-3: -Radiation from the Sun The sun gets its energy from the process of nuclear fusion. This process occurs in the sun’s core or interior, where temperature and pressure are extremely high. During most of the sun’s life, energy comes from the fusion of hydrogen nuclei.
Detailed explanation-4: -Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.
