Heat can travel through outer space as radiation. However, space is more or less a vacuum, so it's not a conductor of heat.

Is outter space a good conductor or insulator for thermal energy?
Outer space is NOT a good conductor because their is no matter in space. Good conductors hold heat well and since their is no matter in space, it cannot be a good conductor. Space has to be a good insulator because it can't hold heat.
Are plastic freezer drawers better than metal?
No. Plastic is a bad conductor of heat as it does not have free electrons and metal are good conductor of heat as they have one or two free electrons in outer orbit.
Silver or aluminum best heat conductor?
Silver is a better heat conductor.
Is Helium a good or poor conductor of heat?
helium is an insulator (poor conductor) of heat
Is sliver a conductor or insulator?
Like any metal, silver is a good conductor - both of heat, and of electricity.

Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by?
Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by radiation.
How does a space suit allow an astronaut to walk in outer space?
The suit allows the person to walk in outer space, because the suit is designed to with stand the extreme heat and cold of outer space.
Are plastic freezer drawers better than metal?
No. Plastic is a bad conductor of heat as it does not have free electrons and metal are good conductor of heat as they have one or two free electrons in outer orbit.
How does heat enter earth when outer space is very cold?
Electromagnetic radiation.
Is fabric a conductor of heat?
It is not a heat conductor.
Is ceramic a bad conductor of heat?
Why is glass a good conductor of heat and ceramic is not a good conductor of heat?
Is metal a heat conductor or insulator?
it is a heat conductor
What does a current carrying conductor produce?
-- heat (if it isn't a superconductor) -- a magnetic field in the space around the wire
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
Heat flow through empty space occurs through radiation?
Correct. Heat Transfering by Radiation does not require a medium to use such as an empty space. For example, Radiation through outer space, Heat emanating from the campfire or fire source.
Why a diamond is a carbon but not heat conductor?
because it is a heat conductor!
