What is the transfer of heat through space by heat?
The sun gives off radiation, which can travel through space, and is later converted into heat when it contacts matter (Earth, space crafts, astronauts, asteroids, ect.).
How does heat affect space?
If your talking about the majority of space which is just nothing then heat affects it through radiation. Since there is no matter to transfer heat heat cannot be transfered through conduction or convection. Like the closer you travel to the sun the hotter its going to get but not because of direct contact or matter.
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.
How can the sun transfer heat to the earth through space?
a little thing called radiation idiot or because chuck norris allows it
Transfer of heat through space?
Cleverly, that process is accomplished through the use of electromagnetic radiation.
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.
The transfer of heat in the form of waves through empty space is called?
Radiation
Which is the only type of energy transfer that can traverse through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves can traverse through empty space. Heat is transferred right from Sun to earth only through empty space
Is radiation the transfer of heat through a solid material?
Radiation can go through transparent materials, but it can also go through empty space. And it is not directly heat that is transferred; it is electromagnetic waves.Radiation can go through transparent materials, but it can also go through empty space.

What do you call the transfer of thermal energy as waves that can involve energy transfer through matter or across empty space?
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy.If it is across empty space, then it's radiated heat.If through matter, then heat conduction.There is also convection, which is gas molecules gaining the heat energy, then the gas moves around, carrying the heat with it.
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.
Is conduction a heat transfer by direct contact of particles of matter?
Yes, whereas convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat via a liquid, and radiative heat transfer occurs through empty space (like the heat you feel from the sun).
The transfer of thermal energy with no overall transfer of matter?
the transfer of heat through empty space is called RADIATION.
Transfer of heat through open space?
transfer of heat through open space is radiation
What is radiation in heat terms?
Radiation is when no atoms or molecules are involved in the transfer of heat or energy. This is when energy can travel through empty space . Ex:sun heats earth through space;radiation.
How heat travels through empty space?
Heat travels through empty spaces by radiation.
