Answer:

How does energy travel?

One way the energy can travel is through radiation. An object can radiate energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, for example when a strong light is turned on and you can feel some heat coming from it, or when you walk under the sunlight and you can feel the heat in your skin.

Where is the initial source of energy in our solar system?

In the solar system, the source of energy comes from the Sun, and the sun irradiates that energy to all the nearby objects.

What is the process that gives off energy from the sun called?

The process is called radiation, this is all the energy that comes from the sun in the form of different electromagnetic waves (light in the visible range, UV rays, etc...)
