Where can sounds not travel?
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum. Sound is mechanical energy, and it travels by the transfer of mechanical energy through the medium through which it is traveling. If there is nothing to transfer the mechanical energy, like there is nothing in a vacuum, sound cannot travel there.
What is energy that can be transferred through empty space?
heat or light radiation can travel through a 100% vacuum
How does thermal energy travel through space from Sun to Venus?
Due to the vacuum of space there is no convection or conduction. Energy is transported by photons from the Sun to Venus (radiation).
Why is em radiation the only energy that can travel through space?
Because they are waves that do not require a medium through which to propagate. Space is a vacuum with no medium. For instance, sound waves need air through which to travel.
Can sound energy travel through the vacuum of space?
No sound can travel through space. Sound travels by vibrating adjacent molecules. The sound wave travels along these molecules until it dissipates with distance. In the vacuum of space, there are no molecules (this is not considering celestial bodies like planets or meteors because they are not a part of the vacuum), so sound cannot travel.

When solar energy travels from the sun through a vacuum of space to the earth?
Energy from the sun travels through the vacuum of space by radiation.
Radiation can travel through space which is a?
vacuum
How does the sun give its energy to the Earth when space has no gravity?
The light travel directly through the vacuum and reaches earth

Why is visible light considered to be radiant energy and can travel through empty space but sound waves cannot travel through a vacuum?
Well light is an electromagnetic wave and it pushes itself through space ,but sound requires particles to travel through and if there are no particles for it to travel through you have no sound
What type of energy transfers occurs even when matter isn't present?
Electromagnetic Energy does not require matter to be transferred...that is why it can travel through the vacuum of space.
The thermal of energy by electromagnetic waves through the vacuum of space?
Radiation is the thermal of energy by electromagnetic waves through the vacuum of space.
Can heat energy travel through space a vacuum by convection?
Actually heat cannot travel through vacuum. sun emits radiations (obviously electromagnetic radiations.) which needs no medium to travel. hence these radiations travel through space and reaches earth where it interacts with atmosphere. when these radiations fall on media like air, water land etc. the radiation is converted into heat energy. Thus it is clear that heat from sun is converted into radiations which travel through space and reaches earth where it is converted to light.
