If the sun's radiation could not travel through space, then the Earth would be
a cold, dark, frozen rock, and nothing would have ever happened on it.

What would happen on earth if the suns radiation couldn't travel through space?
Nothing would happen on Earth. I mean none of the things that happen now.The Earth would be come totally cold and totally dark, and you could forget aboutplants, animals, people, liquid water, or light to see anything with.
How could they survive the intense UV radiation exposure?
The answer will depend on what they are.
Which form of energy is unable to travel through a vacuum?
In the first chapter of his book, Quantum Theory, David Bohm discusses potential energy transfers from empty space to, within, and out of blackbody radiators, where he develops a formula for the total energy in empty space to be the sum of contributions by electric and magnetic fields integrated over all space available to the respective fields.In the last chapter of the book, Bohm discusses the necessity for both small scale and large scale potentials to interact (quantum with classical), in order "for a specific potentiality to be realized irrevocably at the expense of all other potentialities."Thus, in empty space, energy transfers would be limited to changes in energy potentials. In theory, particle/anti-particle pairs can be created from vacuum energy, and the particle-pair either recombines and annihilates; or one of the pair can transfer into a black hole, while the other waves along its merry way.a: pay attention to THE WORD THEORY
If you hit the home run in space what would happen?
The ball would travel in a straight line until it hit some planet, star, black hole, asteroid or comet, which could take billions of years.
What are some things that could go wrong going up to mars?
There are the usual things that could potentially happen, which may involve mechanical and electrical failure. The life support system could go down for example, or a stray meteor might rip through part of the vehicle. There is also thought to be a lot more radiation, that would make the pilots I'll or even kill them if they are insufficiently protected from it. It would be a very long journey in a small space, so the astronauts may have psychological problems also, and may struggle to get on with each other.

Wave that can travel through an empty space?
what is a form of energy that travels as waves through the air and some solids and liquids call?
How does radiation travel though a vacuum?
Electromagnetic radiation travels very well through a vacuum. EM radiation doesn't need a conductor, or any kind of "medium" to travel through. Back before about 1905, scientists couldn't imagine how a wave could travel without something to travel IN, so they imagined a sort of medium that extended throughout space. They called it the "ether", and conducted countless experiments to determine the properties of the "ether". Two scientists named Michaelson and Morely tried in vain to measure the properties of the "ether", and which way the Earth was moving through it. In 1905, Einstein's law of special relativity demolished the very concept of "ether" as a medium of electromagnetic radiation.
How is heat transffered through space?
through thermal radiation, a type of electromagnetic radiation, convection and conduction could not occur because there are barely anything in space
What might happen to a nuclear power plant if the containment structure was damaged?
It could release radiation.
Can a black hole travel through space?
Yes, a black hole could travel through space.
Does laser belongs to group of radiation?
Technically, yes. A laser is a concentrated beam of monochromatic (usually) light. Given that light itself is considered to be part of the electromagnetic spectrum and that that spectrum is referred to as electromagnetic radiation (as it doesn't need a medium to travel through) then one could deduce that a laser beam is radiation. In addition, gamma radiation also forms part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Why might you call the ozone layer a space shield?
Since ultraviolet radiation from the sun does have to travel through outer space in order to reach the Earth, you could say that it comes from space, and therefore the ozone layer which protects against solar ultraviolet radiation is a kind of space shield.
Is radiation the direct transfer of energy by electromagnetic?
It's the emission of electromagnetic energy from something, not the transfer. That em-radiation could travel for ever across the universe, never interacting with anything ever again and it would still be radiation.________________________________________________________Not all radiation is electromagnetic engery. Electromagnetic energy is transfered by way of photons. Photons are emited through gamma radiation and black body radiation. Nuclear decay of alpha particles and beta particles (which are also considered radiations) are actual particles that have mass, and are not electromagnetic radiation.
Why can't sound travel on an asteroid?
sound cant travel on an asteroid because it has no atmosphere. it could travel through it.
What could happen if cells didn't have osmosis?
What could happen to a cell if it didn't allow anything in through its membrane
Do earthquakes travel through oceans?
Yes, some earthquakes travel through water. They could cause Tsunamis and other stuff.
