Answer to Question 1

The photosphere radiates light which carries away energy

Answer to Question 2

In a vacuum, all electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, travel at the same speed: 300,000 km/s. Measuring the time it takes the radio signal to reach us and multiplying by 300,000 km/s gives the distance to the spacecraft.
