There are three ways to transfer heat:1. Conduction
2. Convection
3. Radiation
Only the third way works in the case of a vacuum. In this third way, the radiation in question is electromagnetic waves - usually infrared (it depends on the temperature of the object). Just like light - which is also an electromagnetic radiation - other electromagnetic waves travel especially well through empty space.

What is energy that can be transferred through empty space?
heat or light radiation can travel through a 100% vacuum
How is energy transferred by solids liquids gases and vacuum?
Heat energy is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation. In a vacuum, heat energy can only be transferred by radiation.
How is heat transferred through a vacuum?
Only by radiation. Infrared waves waves don't require a material medium to pass through. Heat energy is transmitted even through vacuum in the form of infrared waves. We get heat energy from sun in this way.
Why is heat from the sun transferred through radiation?
Because radiation is the only method that works in the vacuum of space.
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 the transfer of heat through energy waves called?
Transfer of heat energy through energy waves is called radiation.
How is heat transferred through conduction?
Heat is transferred through contact between molecules.
Is heat transferred through thermal conduction?
Heat is transferred through contact between molecules.
How is the suns energy transferred?
The sun transfer heat through radiationAnswer'Heat' is not transferred. Rather, 'heat' describes the process of transferring energy. So, your question should read, 'How does the sun transfer energy to earth?", and the answer is by radiation.
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.
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.
How is heat transferred through thermal conductions?
Heat is transferred through contact between molecules.
