Sunlight or Solar Radiation is essentially photons, or packets of energy, emmited from the suns surface, which are able to travel through the vacuum of space at the speed of light. This comes to us in a range of wavelengths, including Visible light, Ultra violet and Infra red radiation.

Does heat reach us from the sun by convection?
Heat from the sun reaches Earth by radiation. Convection involves air movement, so heat from a forced air furnace would be an example of convection, as would heat in a convection oven which is basically a regular oven with a fan to distribute the heat more evenly.
How does the heat reach the sun?
With the exception of vanishingly small amounts from other stars, heat does not reach the sun. The sun is a source of heat due to the nuclear fusion underway in its interior.
How long does heat radiated from the sun take to reach us?
Roughly [8 and 1/3] minutes.
How does heat from the sun reach you?
Heat from the sun reaches you from radiation.
How long does it take for the sun light to reach us?
About 8 minutes
Why cant you go to the sun?
The heat generated in the sun prevents us from reaching it. The heat is about 5500 degrees celcius and no ordinary human or supernatural machine can reach the sun.
How does heat energy reach us from the sun?
By electromagnetic radiation - including visible light.

How come you can feel the sun when it is so far away?
It's because the sun is so hot that its heat can reach earth. If you think about it it's pretty cool because were so far away but its heat can still reach us.
How long does heat radiated from the sun take to reach us?
Roughly [8 and 1/3] minutes.
How long does it take for heat of the Sun fusion reactions to reach the sun's surface?
From the surface of the sun the heat radiations take 8 minutes to reach the surface of hte earth.
How does heat from the sun reach you?
Heat from the sun reaches you from radiation.
What type of heat transfer allows the Sun's heat to reach the Earth?
Radiation .
How does the heat of the sun reach in earth?
The heat of the sun reaches the earth by radiation, E = hf =hc/w.
How does the sun work What is the sun?
the sun is full of heat and it shines heat on us everyday
Is it true the heat from the sun reaches earth through convection?
No that is not true, heat from the Sun does not reach the Earth by means of convection.
