Why can heat travel through space by radiation but not by conduction or convection?
Because conduction and convection require particles to transfer heat. Space is a vacuum (has no particles in it) so convection and conduction cannot occur.
What state of matter does radiation happen you n?
Radiation can travel through; solids, liquids, gases and it can also pass through a vacuem (where particles are not present). This is because radiation uses waves to emit not particles.
Why cant thermal radiation move through space by conduction or convection?
Because in space there are no particles (this is called a vacuum), however conduction and convection require particles to work eg. solids, liquids and gases have particle arrangements. So thermal radiation has to travel through space via radiation as space is a vacuum and particle-less.
Can radiation travel through a liquid?
it depends on the type of radiation alpha ((type of)nuclear radiation) can't travel through it for very long Infra red (heat) can but is absorbed by the particles in the water as it goes
Why is em radiation the only energy that can travel through space?
Because they are waves that do not require a medium through which to propagate. Space is a vacuum with no medium. For instance, sound waves need air through which to travel.

Does heat radiation require a medium to travel?
Radiation does not require a medium.
How does heat get to us from the sun?
It travels thorough space by radiation. This is possible because radiation does not require particles to travel, so it can travel through a vaccum all that way to reach us! You should learn this in more detail in hight school physics, if you haven't already. Hope that helped a little!
What do sound waves require to travel in?
Particles. They can't travel through a vacumm
Do visible light and x-rays travel through different medians?
Visible light and x-rays are both forms of electromagnetic radiation, and do not require a medium to travel through.

Does sound energy need particles to travel through?
Yes they do need particles to travel through!
Why does the energy from the sun travel to Earth by radiation instead of by convection or conduction.?
Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun
