Conduction requires the presence of matter. The way conduction works, one atom or molecule bumps into another one, transferring heat energy.

∙ 7y agoConduction can only happen between stuff that touch each other. In empty space, Nothin is touching anything, so there can't be any transfer.

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.
What carries energy through empty space and through matter?
Electromagnetic waves carry energy through matter and empty space. They consist of two transverse waves - one is the magnetic field and one is the electric field - which travel perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving.
What are 3 ways heat energy can move?
Conduction through solids, convection through liquids and gases, and radiation through empty space.
What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?
radiation
Which is a bundle of energy that can travel through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves or radiation
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.
The transfer of energy through empty space is called?
Conduction
Which can travel through empty space out of insulator convection electomagnetic conduction or radiation?
Radiation can travel through empty space. The radiation in question is electromagnetic waves.
Does more energy reach us through conduction or radiation?
Most of the solar energy we get comes through radiation. So we get more energy via radiation, than conduction.
What carries energy through empty space and through matter?
Electromagnetic waves carry energy through matter and empty space. They consist of two transverse waves - one is the magnetic field and one is the electric field - which travel perpendicular to the direction that the wave is moving.
The transfer of thermal energy with no overall transfer of matter?
the transfer of heat through empty space is called RADIATION.
Why cant you get energy from the sun through convection?
