Radiation
-------------------------------------
Yes the above is correct. When something is hot it gives of Infrared radiation, part of the electromagnetic spectrum like light, but a part that our eyes can not see (we can however feel the warmth on our skin).
Infrared radiation is the only aspect of heat that can go through space or a vacuum because the absence of matter (stuff) in a vacuum means that convection and conduction are not possible.

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.
The thermal transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves through the vacuum of space?
Convection
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 a completely empty space?
A completely empty space is called a vacuum. A vacuum does not even have air. Sound cannot travel through a vacuum.
What is energy that can be transferred through empty space?
heat or light radiation can travel through a 100% vacuum
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.
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.
Wave that can transfer energy through the vacuum of space?
electromagnetic waves
What is heat transfer through empty space?
Radiation is the transfer of energy through a vacuum.

What is the transfer of heat energy through empty space called?
The transfer of heat energy through empty space is called radiation.
What is the transfer of heat through the emptiness of space an energy called?
Convection is the transfer of energy through space.
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).
Can waves transfer energy through liquids and solids but not through gases or empty space?
Some waves can transfer energy only through liquids and solids, but not through gases or vacuum. Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.
