1 In the climate system these forms of heat transfer are manifested in the motion of the atmosphere and ocean, on both local and global scales.  Radiation: The transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves. This form of energy transfer does not require the presence of matter to occur. In this form energy can travel through empty space from the Sun to the Earth and other planets in the solar system. Radiation also occurs within the climate system between the earth's surface and the atmosphere, and within the atmosphere and ocean.
If the Sun were to suddenly vanish at this very moment, the light from the Sun would continue to arrive for the next 8.5 minutes which is the travel time from the Sun to the Earth at the speed of light. There would still be a Sun in the sky even though the Sun is actually not there now.o far as we know, and so far as the little data we have can tell us, gravity and the force of gravity also travels at the speed of light. This means the Sun's gravitational force takes 8.5 minutes to cross the solar system to get to the Earth and affect the orbit of the Earth.
