Yes, any metal is a good conductor of heat. However, the wire being fairly thin, it won't conduct much heat.

Yes, in the form of infrared radiation we see that heat can travel via light waves. We call this infrared radiation, and this is a wave that humans feel as heat. It's invisible, and it is just below red on the electromagnetic spectrum. The wave is the energy, and when it reacts with the skin, we feel it as heat.

It depends. If you mean a metal wire the answer would be yes. Most substances which conduct electricity well, also conduct heat well.

Why does the length of wire affect the resistance?

the longer the wire, the more mass the electrons have to travel thru. the more they have to travel thru, the more resistance. (and the resultant heat) the more electrically conductive the wire, the less resistance.


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.
