Best Answer

Heat energy travels in three ways: convection, radiation, and conduction.

The radiation from the sun heats the air around the house, making the walls warm. Than, the walls warm up the air inside the house. The sun rays go through the windows, which will trap heat. The heated air will rise, and stay there unless there is an escape route for it.

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.
