Radiation can go through transparent materials, but it can also go through empty space. And it is not directly heat that is transferred; it is electromagnetic waves.

How are conduction and radiation similar?
They are both transfers of energy. Conduction is the transfer of energy through a solid (Think: heat through a metal pan on a stove, or electricity through a wire). Radiation is the transfer of energy through space (Think: The sun's rays landing on your skin giving you a tan, or a laser through the air.)
What is canvection and what is coduction?
I think you mean convection and conduction. The first is the transfer of energy through a fluid and the second through a solid. The third way, through a vacuum, is radiation.
What does heat travel through space as?
By Radiation. There Are three modes of heat transfer depending on medium(like fliud or solid). Conduction(solids and fliuds), Convection (fliuds) and Radiation(vaccum). In space there is no medium i.e,Vaccum.So that in space the heat transfer the mode of radiation.
How is energy transferred by conduction and radiation?
Carbon does not transfer via radiation. Carbon can only "conduct" in the sense that it can diffuse through a solid if the temperature is high enough. Carbon can convect in convective models, and the analyses of both heat transfer and mass transfer in solid surface - fluid mediums are *very* similar.
How do you explain the difference between conduction convection or radiation can transfer heat explain?
It's a different way to transfer heat. One object emits electromagnetic radiation (for example, infrared - though it depends on the temperature); another object absorbs it. Heat transfer through radiation can occur in empty space; with conduction and convection, that's not possible.

Can s waves travel through solid?
In radioactive solids, yes. Any solid material with a half life will emit radiation. Any solid material with unstable isotopes within it will also emit radiation. Heat is infrared radiation, and any solid will radiate heat when the temperature outside it is lower.
Is heat radiation sometimes called radiation?
yes The final major form of heat transfer is by radiation, which occurs in any transparent medium (solid or fluid) but may also even occur across vacuum (as when the Sun heats the Earth). Radiation is the transfer of energy through space by means of electromagnetic waves in much the same way as electromagnetic light waves transfer light. The same laws that govern the transfer of light govern the radiant transfer of heat.

How does energy travel to Earth?
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.
Can heat travel through space where there is no air?
It depends on how you want to look at it. heat can only be transferred three ways: Convection, which is transferring heat through a fluid, Conduction, which is transfer of heat through a solid, and by radiation, which is emitted light in the infrared wavelengths. radiation can travel through space just fine, but convection and conduction are right out if there isn't anything that can be heated up. Radiation doesn't require a medium, and can thus transfer heat through a vacuum.
What is the scientific definition for transfer?
A form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules and capable of being transmitted through solid and fluid media by conduction, through fluid media by convection, and through empty space by radiation.
What are 3 types of energy transfer?
The three types of energy transfers are: Conduction, the transfer by energy moving through a solid; Convection, the transfer of energy in a gas or a liquid; and Radiation, the transfer of energy through space. Conduction is how a stove warms the contents of a pan. As the pan heats up, the material inside in contact with the pan gets warm. Convection is what happens when a heater warms the air around it, causing it to rise, which creates lower pressure near the heat source, causing cooler air to flow in. Convection is a result of the differences in density resulting from differences in temperature. Convection does not work in a zero gravity environment. Radiation is how the Sun warms the Earth. Energy travels through empty space until it strikes the Earth, causing it to warm.
What is the movement of Earth materials through the mantle and toward the crust due to heat transfer an example of?
It is an example of heat transfer by convection. Material heated by the outer core slowly moves toward the surface through the solid but plastically-mobile mantle.
