Detailed explanation-1: -Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is invisible. Only a small portion comes as visible light.

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. A direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic waves given off by the sun are called solar radiation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves is called electromagnetic radiation. The electric and magnetic fields of an electromagnetic wave are areas of electric or magnetic force. The fields can exert force over objects at a distance. An electromagnetic wave begins when an electrically charged particle vibrates.

Detailed explanation-5: -Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energy transfer? Electromagnetic waves can carry energy through matter. Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.
