How does infrared heat work?
Well, the infrared sensor is actually a bunch of little really sensitive fairies. Heat makes these fairies angry, and they turn red because of it, whereas coldness makes them sad, so they turn blue. Based on the heat radiating from the point in space that a certain fairy represents, they will turn a different color to indicate the heat and their mood.
What can infrared travel through?
Infrared radiation can only travel through empty space or transparent objects
How is heat transferrred through space?
Through radiation, like infrared radiation, visible light, etc.
What travels faster ultraviolet waves or infrared waves in space?
They both travel at the same speed, the speed of light
The process of emitting radiant energy?
When radiation is given off, it's transferred through empty space by infrared rays.
What is one purpose that the atmosphere serves?
The atmosphere serves to block many harmful waves radiating from outer space. It also traps some infrared radiation which warms the earth.
Why have scientists put ultraviolet infrared infrared gamma's and X ray telescopes in space?
they did it to get more detailed pictures of space
What does infrared does?
it takes up space

Is it efficient to use a Valco Infrared heater as a space heater?
Valco Infrared heater can be used as a space heater. The can save you lots of money on energy costs.
What can infrared travel through?
Infrared radiation can only travel through empty space or transparent objects
Infrared astronomy can only be done from space?
No, that is false.
What is the main way that heat is expelled in space?
(Infrared) radiation.
The James Webb Space Telescope will study?
infrared radiation
What will the Jame Webb space telescope will study?
infrared radiation
What is this thing called iras?
The Infrared Astronomical Satellite was the first-ever space-based observatory to perform a survey of the entire sky at infrared wavelengths. It uses infrared light.
How does the Greenhouse Effect keep the earth warmer than it would be without the presence of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse gases are transparent to visible light, but opaque to infrared radiation. Light arrives at the planet Earth during the day from the sun, and warms the planet. The planet then cools off at night by radiating infrared radiation into space. If greenhouse gases intercept that infrared radiation, they are acting like a blanket, to hold in the world's heat.
