Best Answer

Radiation in heat transfer is one of three known modes of heat transfer: conduction (as heat transfer in solids and less effective in liquids)), Convection (as in liquids and gases), and radiation (that not necessarily require a medium for the transfer). Heat of sun is transferred to us in the vacuum space by radiation heat transfer.

Radiation is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves. These range in frequency from low (long wave radio waves) to the high (gamma rays). Transfer of heat is mostly done by the infra red part of the spectrum.
