All planets receive energy from the Sun. But, the amount of energy decreases with the planetâs distance from the Sun. This is because after emission, radiant energy spreads over a greater and greater area as it moves through space.
Heat Transfer. Practically all of the energy that reaches the earth comes from the sun. Intercepted first by the atmosphere, a small part is directly absorbed, particularly by certain gases such as ozone and water vapor. Some energy is reflected back to space by clouds and the earth's surface. Most of the radiation, however, is absorbed by the surface. Energy is transferred between the earth's surface and the atmosphere in a variety of ways, including radiation, conduction, and convection. The graphic below uses a campstove to summarize the various mechanisms of heat transfer.
