Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by?
Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by radiation.
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.).
What makes the sun shine and what make it hot?
the heat in outer space makes it shine and be hot
Meteors are rocks from outer space that?
Meteors are rocks from outer space that strike the Earth's atmosphere and are heated to incandescence (glowing heat) by friction. Most are completely vaporized, but some do fall to Earth.
What are two characteristics of the thermosphere that make it necessary for us to use a space shuttle to get through it?
Thermosphere is the atmosphere's outermost layer with a very thin air and no definite outer limit. The reason why a space shuttle gets through it is because shuttle orbiters used ceramic tiles and heat protection.
Is outer space a conductor of heat?
Heat can travel through outer space as radiation. However, space is more or less a vacuum, so it's not a conductor of heat.
Heat flow through empty space occurs through radiation?
Correct. Heat Transfering by Radiation does not require a medium to use such as an empty space. For example, Radiation through outer space, Heat emanating from the campfire or fire source.
What is the transfer of heat through the emptiness of space an energy called?
Convection is the transfer of energy through space.
How does heat travel through outer space?
Only as electromagnetic radiation and named as infra red rays.
Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by?
Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by radiation.
What is the energy that travels through space?
Movement energy energy,sound energy and heat energy
What are three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through the earth's system?
convection (from the movement of fluids), conduction (through solids), and radiation (through air and space).
What are the three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through the Earth's system?
convection (from the movement of fluids), conduction (through solids), and radiation (through air and space).
How does a space suit allow an astronaut to walk in outer space?
The suit allows the person to walk in outer space, because the suit is designed to with stand the extreme heat and cold of outer space.
How is heat transferred through space?
heat is transfered through space by radiation.
Does heat travel through space by convection?
No, convection requires the movement of particles. Since space is a vacuum, there are no particles present.
Transfer of heat through open space?
transfer of heat through open space is radiation
