Yes, think of the radiation from the Sun, it must travel through the vacuum of space to warm our own planet Earth.

Can heat transfer take place through Radiation in vacuum?
A vacuum motor can generate heat, which is transferred through radiating patterns, mostly.answer 2 heat can transfer by conduction, radiation, and convection (a special case of conduction).Heat can travel through a vacuum by radiation. I hope the sun felt warm at your place today.
What is energy that can be transferred through empty space?
heat or light radiation can travel through a 100% vacuum
Can heat travel by convection through a vacuum?
No. Convection requires a carrier to convey the heat. Vacuum says there is nothing to do the conveying. Radiation does not need a convector, so heat can travel by radiation through a vacuum, like the radiation from the sun.
How does the process of travelling heat from vacuum differ from the heat travel through matter?
In a vacuum its all electromagnetic radiation, in matter it's a question of atomic (molecular) motion.
Is it possible for heat to flow across a vacuum?
Heat needs something to "flow" through. In a vacuum it will not have a medium to travel through and so heat cannot flow across a vacuum. Radiant heat will travel through a vacuum but here it is the light energy that is passing through the vacuum, not the heat energy.
Can heat travel through a vaccume by radiation only?
Rradiation is the only way that heat can travel in a vacuum.
Heat transfer by radiation is the only method of heat transfer that can travel through a vacuum. What is a vacuum?
A vacuum is a space where there is no, or very little matter (ex. air molecules). One example of a vacuum is outer space. Because there is no matter for heat to travel through via convection or conduction, radiation is the only heat transfer that can take place in a vacuum.

Can heat energy travel through space a vacuum by convection?
Actually heat cannot travel through vacuum. sun emits radiations (obviously electromagnetic radiations.) which needs no medium to travel. hence these radiations travel through space and reaches earth where it interacts with atmosphere. when these radiations fall on media like air, water land etc. the radiation is converted into heat energy. Thus it is clear that heat from sun is converted into radiations which travel through space and reaches earth where it is converted to light.
Is radiation the only form of heat transfer that is unable to travel through the vacuum of space?
No. You got it exactly backwards.
How does heat from the Sun travel through the vacuum of space to the Earth?
The Sun's energy is transmitted by electromagnetic radiation, with most of the heat caused by ultraviolet radiation striking the Earth's surface. This heat is re-radiated by infrared radiation.

How does heat move when there is no matter to transfer it?
Through radiation. Such as we receive heat from the sun through radiation when it's vacuum in space.
Is outer space a conductor of heat?
Heat can travel through outer space as radiation. However, space is more or less a vacuum, so it's not a conductor of heat.
