No.
what is a form of energy that travels as waves through the air and some solids and liquids call?
Electromagnetic waves are produced by the motion of electrically charged particles. These waves are also called 'electromagnetic radiation' because they radiate from the electrically charged particles. They travel through empty space as well as through air and other substances.
Energy is re-radiated by the Earth as infrared (thermal) radiation.
heat is transfered through space by radiation.
It increases the amount of solar radiation that is reflected into space
No. Modern-day astronomers do not use only visible electromagnetic radiation to study space. They use additional bands of the electromagnetic spectrum to study space, including radio, microwave, infra-red, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma ray. Darn! That's just about everything.

Radiation
Electromagnetic radiation is "light." Light in various wavelengths (gamma rays through to infrared) comes to us from out in space, and astronomers use instruments called telescopes to capture it and observe the bodies and processes emitting this light.
Electromagnetic radiation that comes from outer space are called, Cosmic Rays.
Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to the earth from the sun is invisible. ... In electromagnetic radiation, its frequency is the number of electromagnetic waves moving past a point each second.
It depends on what radiation you are talking about. Electromagnetic waves (this includes visible light) are waves in the electric and magnetic field of space; transmitting this as a wave requires no atoms, just space itself.
Radiation is the thermal of energy by electromagnetic waves through the vacuum of space.
A telescope is an instrument that gathers information from a distance by collecting and focusing electromagnetic radiation, such as visible light, to observe celestial objects in space.
Telescopes are used to observe and magnify images in outer space. The electromagnetic spectrum consists of many wavelengths, which constitute visible light, infrared, microwave, and X-ray radiation. Telescopes can be manufactured to view these certain types of radiation.
Not exactly. Actually, no. Photons are chunks of electromagnetic waves. As such, they do not produce EM waves, they ARE those waves. A photon inter-acting with some other particle could result in other photons -- ie, a different kind of EM wave -- being created.
