The statement is true. The Sun shines on and warms Earth’s surface directly in a method of energy transfer known as radiation.

Explanation:

Solar radiation is electromagnetic radiation emitted by the sun. Electromagnetic radiation is released during fusion reactions at the core of the Sun. About half of the radiation is visible light and the other half is infrared radiation. It also contains some ultraviolet radiation.  

The amount of solar radiation emitted to a particular geographical location depends on the time of year and time of day. This is significantly influenced by the position of the Earth's tilt relative to the Sun and the rotation around the Sun. Compounds in the area's atmosphere and clouds also affect the amount of radiation that enters the earth. The amount of solar radiation has a significant impact on the living conditions of plants and animals. The amount of solar radiation also affects the amount of solar energy produced.
