Step-by-step explanation:

The sun radiates energy in all directions in the form of heat, light and radiation. This energy is capable of heating objects across incredible distances. Solar heating occurs when solar radiation strikes a molecule of some material and is absorbed. Solar radiation strikes reflective materials and reflect it away without absorbing much heat. Transparent materials allow solar radiation to pass through without heat being exchanged.

Answer:

The heat source for our planet is the sun. Energy from the sun is transferred through space and through the earth's atmosphere to the earth's surface. Since this energy warms the earth's surface and atmosphere, some of it is or becomes heat energy.
