Why is ceramic space heater better than resistance coil space heater?

There isn't that much of a difference really.
Strictly speaking the ceramic heater is also a resistance coil heater, the difference being that the coil is embedded in the ceramic, giving a bigger heat-emitting surface.
In heating costs they'll be the same.
But having a bigger emitting surface operating at a lower temperature may give a "softer" heat.
A bit like filling a bucket of water from a shower head or a hose. It'll take just as much water, and take the same amount of time, but the wider spray from the shower head will hit softer than the jet from the hose.

Is electric energy converted to heat energy or light energy?
Yes, electrical energy can be changed into thermal (heat) energy. Light is electromagnetic energy, and electricity can be changed into light energy. We know that a resistance heater changes electrical energy into thermal energy. An electric range does this, as does an electric space heater. We see electrical energy changed into light in fluorescent lights.
Where can ceramic space heaters be bought?

These stores include Amazon, Ace Hardware, Best Buy, the auction website eBay and Delonghi.One can purchase a ceramic space heater from ULINE, Walmart, and Target. One can also purchase a ceramic space heater from Amazon, Lowe's, and OfficeMax.
How is resistance used in a space heater?
In an electrical space heater, electrical current dissipates energy into heat, and the heat radiates from the element. In a fuel powered space heater, an orifice throttles the fuel feed (resistance to flow), which controls the heating rate. In a steam powered space heater, an orifice throttles the steam (resistance to flow), which controls the heating rate.
Do rockets work better in space or in air?
Rockets generally work better in the space as compared on air. This is because there is no air resistance on the space.
Are there any space heaters that are not hot to the touch?
Ceramic heaters are some of the newest heaters to hit the market; and they are not hot to the touch. They are a type of convection heater that uses ceramic plates and aluminun baffles. When the ceramic heats up, the aluminun absorbes the heat and a small fan blows the heat into the room. The plastic casing on the outside keeps the heater cool to the touch.
