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.
The sun makes energy in its inner core in a process. called nuclear fusion. It takes the sunâs energy just a little over eight minutes to travel the. 93 million miles to Earth. Solar energy travels at the speed of light, or. 186,000 miles per second, or 3.0 x 108 meters per second. Only a small part of the visible radiant energy (light) that the. sun emits into space ever reaches the Earth, but that is more than. enough to supply all our energy needs.
