They use radio waves which are a type of electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum Ligth is a type of electromagnetic wave and that travels through space from the sun and the stars.

Most of outer space is taken up by?
most of space is a vacuum
If a satellite or spaceship explodes in outer space you can see the explosion from a distance but why can you not hear it?
Light travels in vacuum but sound cannot. So, we can see solar flares but can't hear them. (Outer space can be considered to be vacuum)
Can you shake up a soda bottle in outer space?
if you mean with outer space is outside the orbit of earth, then the answer is no. space outside the gravitational orbit of any planet is a vacuum and nothing can move in a vacuum; be it a bottle or the soda in the bottle, whichever you mean.
What are the four main layers that make up Earth s structure?
The Inner Core (Centre of the Earth) The Outer Core (Second closest to the centre) Mantle (Third closest to the centre) Crust (What we live on)
Is outer space a conductor of heat?
Heat can travel through outer space as radiation. However, space is more or less a vacuum, so it's not a conductor of heat.
Why can't astronauts communicate with sound in outer space?
Because space is a vacuum.
Is vacuum flask an insulater?
It's the vacuum that is maintained between the inner and outer containers of the vacuum flask that is the insulator. Heat is unable to move from the inner container through the vacuum to the outer container which is in contact with the outer world.
Can you hear a vacuum in outer space?
No.
What is outer space an example off?

Where is the energy conducted or converted to when something freezes in the vacuum of outer space?
There is no true vacuum in outer space (or anywhere!). Very very roughly, if something 'froze' in outer space, the 'energy' would convert into 'frozen matter'.
What did John Dalton think about atoms?

Why are shiny outer surfaces needed in a vacuum flask?
The outer surfaces do not need to be shiny. The interior ones do, to reflect heat back rather than let the heat pass out of the vacuum flask. The vacuum between the double walls of the flask also reduces heat loss.
Is the core in the outer surface on planets?
No, the core is the innermost section of the planet, at the centre.
Can you make a vacuum in outer space?
No problem ! Outer space is already a vacuum ... full of it ! I used to read that space is a better vacuum than any vacuum that can be produced in a laboratory on earth. Maybe that's not true any more. Bu the fact remains: Space is a pretty good vacuum. Open a pickle jar in outer space, wait 30 seconds, shake it around a couple times, then screw the cover back on, tight. When you get back, you'll have a jar full of the best vacuum any of your friends have ever seen. (Hard to prove, though.)
Where is there no gas?
Only in a total vacuum. Even in outer space there are traces of gas.
