Radiation (electromagnetic radiation does not require a medium, so light, and all other forms, including infrared radiation, can traverse empty space).

How is energy transferred though empty space?

Through electromagnetic radiation.


What method is thermal energy transferred through a vaccum?

Thermal energy cannot be transferred through a vacuum via conduction or convection because these methods require a medium. However, thermal energy can be transferred through a vacuum via radiation, as electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.


Which flow of thermal energy would be found in space?

In empty space, heat is transferred through radiation.


Energy can be transferred through empty space by?

Energy can be transferred through empty space by radiation. Joule is the SI unit of energy.


Which type of thermal energy transfer is taking place where heat is transferred into all directions?

The type of thermal energy transfer you are referring to is radiation. Radiation involves the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves that can travel through empty space and in all directions.


How is energy transferred through empty space?

Thermal energy can refer to the molecular energy in a substance, which can be transmitted by the movement of the molecules affecting adjacent molecules. Thermal energy is also a form of radiation and as such is transmitted through a vacuum until it hits an object, which is then heated by it until the two objects reach an equilibrium in temperature.


Why is the energy not transferred by conduction or convention?

Energy may not be transferred by conduction or convection if there is a lack of a medium to conduct or convect the energy, such as in a vacuum. In such cases, energy can be transferred through radiation, which does not require a medium and can travel through empty space.


Energy can be transferred through empty space by what?

The answer is heat think that's the answer).


Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?

No, heat does not travel through empty space by conduction because conduction requires particles to transfer heat energy from one molecule to another. In empty space, heat transfer occurs through radiation, where energy is transferred via electromagnetic waves.


Which type of thermal energy transfer can occur in empty space or a vacuum?

Radiation is the only form of thermal energy transfer that can occur in empty space or a vacuum. Radiation does not require a medium to transfer heat because electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum.


The transfer of energy though empty space is called?

"radiation"


Transfer of thermal energy through atoms contacting other atoms?

Not likely. Atoms are mostly empty space.
