Energy from the sun moves through space in a wide range of wave forms that vary by wavelength (electromagnetic spectrum). the energy emitted from the sun that drives earthâs climate system consists of

The energy emitted from the Sun that drives Earth as climate system consists of solar radiation which is just one form of a wide variety of energy called the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Solar radiation consists of infrared light, gamma rays, radio waves, ultraviolet light, visible light and X-rays; all of them drive the Earth’s climate system and biological processes.
