Why did the astronauts not freeze on the moon?
Good insulation is the biggest protection. The vacuum of space is an excellent insulator, the transfer of heat energy is primarily through contact and radiant heat.
Can radiation travel though space?
All types of radiation can travel through space.
Describe what happens to radiant energy once it enters the atmosphere?
It may be converted into heat (or cause chemical reactions to occur), otherwise it remains radiant energy and escapes back into space. Note that much of what stays as heat is converted back into infra-red radiation and lost into space at night.
How does radiation from the sun travel through space?
Radiations from the sun are able to travel through space because of the heat waves.
Sound waves cannot travel through empty space because they need particles to transport what?
to transport the sound or the sound energy.
Do radiant energy need a matter to travel?
No. As an example, the light from the Sun travels through empty space to reach us.
Does radiant energy move through space?
Yes.
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
Why is radiant energy useful to us?
radiant energy is important to us because the sun is emittating radiation to the earth, through space
Does radiant energy spread out in all direction?
Yes it does, because lets say if you turn on a light bulb, then the light tries to go as far as it can in all directions. A light bulb is just one example of radiant energy.
How does heat travel as radiant energy?
An object at any temperature emits electromagnetic radiation, mainly from its surface. This can be infrared, or - at higher temperatures - visible light. This electromagnetic radiation can travel through empty space, or through air. If it strikes another object, the energy (or part of the energy) will be transfered to this other object.
What kinds of energy travel through matter?
Heat and light energy travel through space and matter
What form does energy travel through space?
Radiation energy
Is radiant energy the same as radiation?
Yes, they are the same things. Radiant energy is energy that travels in waves through space and air. Radiation is the movement of energy through spaces as waves. So yes, they practically are the same things.----Louise Marcade Denic----
Does heat energy travel through by space by convection?
No
Can heat energy travel through space by convection?
Yes it can
The process of emitting radiant energy?
When radiation is given off, it's transferred through empty space by infrared rays.
