An object at any temperature emits electromagnetic radiation, mainly from its surface. This can be infrared, or - at higher temperatures - visible light. This electromagnetic radiation can travel through empty space, or through air. If it strikes another object, the energy (or part of the energy) will be transfered to this other object.

What is a difference between heat energy and radiant energy?
Heat Energy is one FORM of Radiant Energy...it is not different.
What method of heat transfer does not require a medium to travel why is it important?
radiant For one thing, it's how heat energy from the sun reaches us.
Is the thermal energy an example of the solar energy?
the solar energy is the energy of sun and sun gives light and heat but the thermal energy is only a heat energy but radiant energy is light and heat energy so the answer will be no and the correct answer will be radiant energy
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.
Does radiant energy require a medium through which to travel?
No

What kind of energy is FIRE?
Heat and radiant energy

What is energy of radiant objects such as fire?
Radiant energy is exothermic energy. Fire is a chemical reaction that produces heat. This heat is released as a result of the exothermic chemical reaction.
What energy is received from the sun?
Radiant energy (heat and light).
What is the energy received from the sun?
Radiant energy (heat and light).
What is a form of energy meaning heat?
radiant
Choose the term that matches this definition heat energy?
For A+, it's Radiant Energy.
How does radiant waves transfer heat energy?
By exciting the atoms in the matter. Pr. definition, heat is the jiggling of atoms, the radiant energy is shaking the atoms, by doing this the heat is transferred and absorbed.
Does radiant energy require a medium through which to travel?
No
