Where is infra red rays in space?
Infra-red "rays" are part of the continuous electromagnetic spectrum stretching from gamma rays at one end to radio waves at the other. One property of electromagnetic waves is their ability to travel through a vacuum. Infra-red is emitted from the surface of any hot body (anything above absolute zero which is approx -273degC) for example the sun. The simple answer therefore is that infra-red is everywhere in space where absorption has not taken place.
