To provide some further context to ovis' (correct) statements, none of our 'heat', or other energy from the sun comes in the form of conduction. It comes in the form of radiation (light, et al) which the sun has in huge, massive, ginormous quantities. In pop culture, we often talk about the heat of the sun as if it's a direct indicator for the amount of power therein, and the amount of power output. But while it's quite hot, its also quite busy showering us with other forms of energy.
