Answer: Earth takes in thermal energy from the Sun in a process called absorption. Sunlight strikes Earth’s surface at different angles. This angle is called the angle of insolation.
The process of taking thermal energy from the sun by the earth is called thermal radiation.
The angle at which sunlight reaches to the earth is called angle of incident.
The sun contains lot of gases mainly hydrogen. Due to various chemical reactions, the hydrogen present in the sun converted into helium and heat energy generated in this process.
A lot of heat energy generated in the sun radiates into the atmosphere.
The amount of heat energy is so high that it reaches to the earth's surface.
The heat energy reaches to the earth in the form of light and ultraviolet spectrum. This process is called thermal radiation.
The amount of the radiation or thermal energy comes from the sun has the intensity which is defined by the angle at which the sunlight strikes at the earth's surface. This angle is called angle of incidence.
