Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?
No, there can't be conduction in empty space. Heat may travel through empty space through radiation, though.
Does heat travel through solids by conduction?
Yes.
How does heat travel through metal?
the answer is that it travels by conduction. thank you.
What a example of conduction?
A good example of conduction is the way your electric stove heats the pot. On contact, the heat from the burner transfers to the pot through conduction.
Can heat energy travel through solids?
Yes, via the method of conduction
Does heat travel through a liquid by conduction?
Yes, but more travels through liquids by convection.
Heat can be moved through liquid and gas by what?
Heat can travel by conduction, convection and radiation in liquids and gases.
Can heat travel by conduction through a gas?
No, it travels by convection. Heat rises in the air and then the cool air is drawn in by the heat.
How does heat travel by conduction through different materials?
By speeding up adjacent molicules.
Why can heat travel through space by radiation but not by conduction or convection?
Because conduction and convection require particles to transfer heat. Space is a vacuum (has no particles in it) so convection and conduction cannot occur.
What is the only way thermal energy can travel through solids?
The only way thermal heat can travel through a solid object is by conduction.
What is it called when Heat energy moves through a liquid?
You are probably thinking of convection, which is transfer of heat by currents set up by variations in density of the liquid.
