The method of heat transfer by which the sun's energy reaches the Earth is called **radiation**. Unlike conduction and convection, which require a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to transfer heat, radiation can occur through the vacuum of space. The sun emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, primarily in the visible spectrum, as well as ultraviolet and infrared radiation, which travel through space and are absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere and surface, warming the planet.
