Question

how does energy from the sun travel to earth?
through radiation
through convection
through conduction
through the movement of particles

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Sun's energy travels to Earth through radiation. Radiation is the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves (like light). Unlike conduction (which requires direct contact between materials) and convection (which involves the movement of fluids), radiation can occur through a vacuum. The space between the Sun and Earth is mostly a vacuum, so conduction and convection (which rely on particles in a medium like solid, liquid, or gas) are not possible. The movement of particles is not a recognized mode of energy transfer in the context of solar - Earth energy transfer.

Answer:

through radiation
