Radiation and heat energy are manifestations of the same thing. Heat is a measure of kinetic energy. Radiation is the emanation of particles or energy that can interact with matter and, as such, change its kinetic energy and, thus, its heat.

What are 3 types of energy heat transfers?
conduction, convection, radiation
What transfers radiation?
It can transfer energy-eg heat energy. Other types of heat transferance are conduction and convection
How the sun transfer energy to earth?
the sun transfer the heat to earth by radiation of heat
What electromagnetic wave transfers thermal or heat energy from a fire place?
Infrared radiation does.
Which process transfers thermal energy through a vacuum?
Radiation, e.g. in case of the heat from Sun, solar radiation transfers it to the planets and other outer space objects.
If energy can be neither created nor destroyed what happens to the sunlight that falls on earth?
Sunlight is radiation energy that transfers into heat energy
What term describes how a blow dryer transfers thermal energy?
The drier heats the air by radiation from the hot-coils, then blows the heated air at you, where it transfers the heat to you by conduction.
What is it called when the sun transfers heat to the earth?
The sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation - solar radiation.
The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
the answer is radiation
What are three energy transfers that occur in volcanoes and earthqueake's?
1. Conduction2. Convection3. Radiation
How is heat transfer by radiation different form heat transfer by convection and conduction?
Radiation requires neither contact (through which conduction transfers heat) nor mass flow or movement (through which convection transfers heat). Only radiation can take place in a vacuum. Convection and conduction both require a material medium for the heat transfer to occur. Only radiation can transfer thermal energy through the vacuum of space.
What energy transfers occur in a vacuum?
Radiation :)
