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 solar radiation that reaches Earth acts as its main source of energy in several ways. It warms the Earth's surface, regulating weather systems and providing a habitable environment for its lifeforms to thrive in. The sun's interactions with Earth generate raindrops, which in turn provide hydropower. People have evolved to see objects when light is present. Without the light energy from the sun, this would not be possible. Solar energy powers the resources people and animals need to survive. It generates hydrocarbons like oil and gas, and it is a source of renewable energy. Without it, life on Earth would not flourish.
