Best Answer

there are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection, and radiation.

Heat transfer through space requires radiation, which involves the electromagnetic waves: gamma ray, x-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, microwave & radiowave.

Heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves. These waves have energy which vibrates the atoms through the medium it travels which generates heat.

How does heat affect space?

If your talking about the majority of space which is just nothing then heat affects it through radiation.
