Why can you feel the heat of the sun even though it is so far away?

Even though the sun is far away, it emits electromagnetic radiation in the form of sunlight that travels through space and heats up the Earth's atmosphere. When this radiation reaches the Earth, it converts to heat energy upon striking the Earth's surface, making us feel the warmth of the sun.


How does radiation from the sun travel through space?

Radiation from the sun travels through space in the form of electromagnetic waves, specifically in the form of visible light, ultraviolet light, and other wavelengths. These waves do not require a medium to propagate and travel through the vacuum of space at the speed of light.


What is the transfer of heat through space by heat?

The transfer of heat through space by radiation is known as thermal radiation. It does not require a medium for heat to travel and can occur in a vacuum. The amount of heat transferred depends on the temperature and surface properties of the objects involved.


How fast do waves of radiation travel through space?

Radiation waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,282 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second) in a vacuum.


What would happen on earth if the suns radiation could not travel through space?

If the sun's radiation could not travel through space, Earth would freeze and become uninhabitable. The sun's radiation provides heat and light energy that is essential for supporting life on our planet. Without it, temperatures would drop dramatically and plant growth would cease, leading to widespread ecological collapse.

What can travel though space without a medium?

Light, radiation, radio waves.


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.


When travel travel through space is it called radiation?

Radiation in space refers to high-energy particles emitted from the sun and other sources. When astronauts travel through space, they are exposed to this radiation, which can potentially be harmful to their health. Shielding and other protective measures are used to minimize the risks associated with space radiation exposure.


Radiation can travel through space which is a?

vacuum


Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?

No, heat does not travel through empty space by conduction because conduction requires particles to transfer heat energy from one molecule to another. In empty space, heat transfer occurs through radiation, where energy is transferred via electromagnetic waves.


Can heat travel through space?

Yes, it is called radiation.


Can electromagnetic radiation travel through empty space?

Yes it can, and it does.


What form does energy travel through space?

Radiation energy


What is a form of energy that moves in waves and can travel through space is called?

It is electromagnetic radiation.


Why does radiation don't need any substance to travel?

Radiation is like light, it can travel through empty space. The "why" is a bit complex; basically, light, as well as similar radiations (including heat radiation) consists of electromagnetic waves. These can travel through empty space, since they are just waves in the electric and magnetic properties of space.


The transfer of energy though empty space is called?

"radiation"


Can radiation travel through a vacuum?

Yeah, radiation can travel in vacuum and a practical example of it is the radiation of sun coming to earth and traveling through space.
