No
Yes it can
Electromagnetic energy, such as light and radio waves, can travel through empty space or through matter. This type of energy does not require a medium to propagate and can travel vast distances through the vacuum of space.
Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.Convection travels through matter. It won't travel through empty space.
Heat can travel through space only by radiation because space is a vacuum, meaning there are no particles for conduction or convection to occur. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as light or infrared radiation, which can propagate through space.
Energy from the sun travels to Earth by radiation because space is a vacuum and there is no medium for convection or conduction to occur. Radiation is the most efficient way for heat to transfer through the vacuum of space.
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.
There are three types of transferrable energy: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction- heat that moves from solid object to solid object by physical means. Convection- heat that moves about a gaseous object (think about boiling water) Radiation- light energy that can travel through space and needs no object to transfer through. The correct answer for this question would be radiation.
Energy in space is mainly transferred through radiation, as there is no medium like air or water for conduction or convection. Electromagnetic radiation, such as light and heat, can travel through the vacuum of space and transfer energy from one place to another. This is how energy from the Sun reaches Earth.
Energy may not be transferred by conduction or convection if there is a lack of a medium to conduct or convect the energy, such as in a vacuum. In such cases, energy can be transferred through radiation, which does not require a medium and can travel through empty space.
Both of these methods require the presense of matter.Both of these methods require the presense of matter.Both of these methods require the presense of matter.Both of these methods require the presense of matter.
Heat energy cannot travel through space by conduction or convection because space is a vacuum without any medium for heat transfer. In space, heat is mainly transferred by radiation, where electromagnetic waves carry energy from one object to another.
Radiation can travel through empty space. The radiation in question is electromagnetic waves.
