    The second answer is correct. Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. To reach the Earth, the sun’s thermal energy must travel through a vacuum or empty space. Electromagnetic waves are the only type of thermal energy that can do so. This means that the sun’s rays must travel through the Earth via electromagnetic waves.
