Radiation, a bit like light. That's it coming from the sun with the speed of light.
Conduction is out because there is no material in the vacuum and the same for convection as there is no convenient fluid movement, air or water, coming our way from the sun.

Can heat transfer take place through Radiation in vacuum?
A vacuum motor can generate heat, which is transferred through radiating patterns, mostly.answer 2 heat can transfer by conduction, radiation, and convection (a special case of conduction).Heat can travel through a vacuum by radiation. I hope the sun felt warm at your place today.
How does heat move when there is no matter to transfer it?
Through radiation. Such as we receive heat from the sun through radiation when it's vacuum in space.
How is heat transfer by radiation different form heat transfer by convection and conduction?
Radiation requires neither contact (through which conduction transfers heat) nor mass flow or movement (through which convection transfers heat). Only radiation can take place in a vacuum. Convection and conduction both require a material medium for the heat transfer to occur. Only radiation can transfer thermal energy through the vacuum of space.
What is the transfer of heat through energy waves called?
Transfer of heat energy through energy waves is called radiation.
How does a vacuum bottle keep food hot or cold?
The main idea is to reduce the heat transfer out of the vacuum bottle, or into it. A vacuum greatly reduces the transfer of heat by conduction and convection, while the mirror reduces heat transfer by radiation.
What are two examples of heat transfer?
Convection - heat transfer through liquids.Conduction - heat transfer through solids.Radiation - heat transfer through vacuum.
What is heat transfer through empty space?
Radiation is the transfer of energy through a vacuum.
Heat transfer by radiation is the only method of heat transfer that can travel through a vacuum. What is a vacuum?
A vacuum is a space where there is no, or very little matter (ex. air molecules). One example of a vacuum is outer space. Because there is no matter for heat to travel through via convection or conduction, radiation is the only heat transfer that can take place in a vacuum.

Why is vacuum the best thermal insulator?
Heat travels in 3 ways. Conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through collision of particles. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movements of particles (ie. hot particle rises, cold particle sinks). Vacuum is made up of nothing (when there is no particle, it is vacuum), and so, it is unable to transfer heat through conduction and convection at all, making it the best thermal insulator

Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can occur?
Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can occur through vacuum (space with no particles).
Why is there no heat transfer by convection or conduction through a vacuum?
Conduction needs a conducting medium. Convection needs something to convect. Neither exists in a vacuum.
What are the different types of heat transfer?
There are three types of heat transfer, namely conduction, convection and radiation. Heat is transferred until the reach a state of equilibrium. Conduction is basically the transfer of heat through a surface of contact, such as a fire to the base of a pot. We say that a material is a good or poor conductor of heat when heat travels quickly or slowly in that particular material. Good conductors of heat are metals whereas poor conductors of heat are rubber and Styrofoam. Conduction cannot occur in a vacuum. Convection is the transfer of heat through molecules. It can only occur in liquids and gases as there are relatively big spaces between the molecules. A convection current is where hot air rises and cold air sinks. Convection cannot occur in a vacuum. Radiation is the transfer of heat through a vacuum. Heat is transferred from the Sun to Earth through radiation.
