How a vacuum conducts heat?

A vacuum does NOT conduct heat !


Why can not heat be conducted by vacuum?

No heat OR electricity can be conducted in a vacuum because of the mere fact that a vacuum has no particles in it that can vibrate to produce heat in the first place


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.


Does heat travel in a vacuum?

Lets look at a vacuum and heat. Heat is the treansfer of energy from one piece of matter to another. A vacuum is the absence of matter. Heat cannot transfer in a vacuum because there must be matter in close proximity to other matter for heat to travel.


Is heat energy can be stored in vacuum?

Yes! Heat is one of the energy stored in a vacuum cleaner!


How is heat transferred away from a vacuum flask?

a vacuum flask is not 100% vacuum. it contains some particles or gas molecules which absorbs a small amount of heat.


What could you heat water in that would retain the heat the longest?

A vacuum would retain the heat best, hence a thermos flask has a vacuum around it =-)


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.


Does heat exist in a vacuum?

No. Heat is a measure of molecular energy in matter, a true vacuum would not contain matter. However, since there is no such thing as a complete vacuum, then Yes.


What is the only way heat travels through a vacuum?

by radiation - convection and conduction cannot occur in a vacuum!


Is vacuum a conductor of heat?

Well, considering that most of our heat comes from the sun, through 93 million miles of vacuum ...


Can you assign temperature to a vacuum?

Answer Yes, you can. I think the answer is no. A physical object in a vacuum can have some energy/heat in it, and the energy associated with electromagnetic radiation can have energy/heat associated with it, but the vacuum itself cannot. ______________________________________________________________________ There is no such thing as a vacuum.
