Heat in outer space is primarily transferred through radiation, as there is no medium like air or water for conduction or convection. Objects in space will emit thermal radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves to transfer heat energy. Without a medium to conduct heat, radiation becomes the dominant method for transferring heat across 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.
A space rock that is entering Earth's atmosphere is called a meteoroid. As it travels through the atmosphere and begins to heat up and produce bright light, it is then referred to as a meteor or shooting star.
The primary source of light and heat energy for Earth is the Sun. The Sun's radiation travels through space and reaches Earth, providing the energy necessary for life to exist on our planet.
The Sun's energy is transmitted by electromagnetic radiation, with most of the heat caused by ultraviolet radiation striking the Earth's surface. This heat is re-radiated by infrared radiation.
Heat travels through empty spaces by radiation.
The type of heat transfer that travels through space in electromagnetic waves is called radiation.
The method by which heat travels through a liquid and a gas is called convection. It involves the transfer of heat by the movement of the heated substance itself, such as the rising of hot air or water and the sinking of cooler air or water.

The transfer of heat energy through empty space is called radiation.
The transfer of heat through open space without the use of any medium is called radiation. Radiant heat travels in electromagnetic waves and does not require a medium to carry it. Examples include the heat we feel from the sun or a fireplace.
Heat travels through empty spaces by radiation.
convection
Electromagnetic energy, such as light and heat, travels by radiation. Radiant energy can move through empty space and is transmitted by electromagnetic waves.
Heat from the Sun travels through the vacuum of space in the form of electromagnetic radiation - primarily through infrared which has wavelengths longer than visible light; some of the visible light also gets converted to heat when it hits the planet (the darker the surface, the more pronounced this effect is).
No, heat from the sun is transmitted to the Earth through radiation. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids like air or water. In the case of the sun, the heat travels through the vacuum of space to reach the Earth.
