Light energy, like from the sun.

∙ 12y agoVia the process of radiation. Radiation does not require a medium to travel though, so it can easily pass through empty space until it reaches the earth.
Infrared radiation we feel as heat, but it is just another electromagnetic radiation.

∙ 9y agoThis needs more context. Possibly radiant heat or infrared, but both of those answers are problematic. Heat can be the effect of certain forms of radiant energy, like infrared, when it strikes a surface, but in the strict sense, heat is not transmitted through empty space.
When something is hot it is due to mechanical vibrations at the atomic level, these vibrations can cause the emission of electromagnetic radiation or be caused by the absorption of electromagnetic radiation. This electromagnetic radiation can travel through empty space (thereby transferring heat between objects) but the atomic vibrations that are what is usually referred to as heat cannot travel through empty space.

∙ 14y agoThere are three forms of heat transfer - conduction, convection and radiation. The first two require a medium for the heat to travel through, radiation does not. So, in empty space the only way heat can travel is by radiation.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoYes, the space is (more or less) empty. The Sun's heat travels as electromagnetic radiation. That radiation does not need a "medium" to travel through. It can go through a vacuum.
Light is also electromagnetic radiation. Some of the Sun's heat is from sunlight.
Light reaches us from galaxies that are billions of light years away, after travelling through (more or less) empty space.

∙ 15y ago"Heat" is the qualitative sensation or quantification of the absorption of energy. "Heat" does not move through empty space - energy moves through empty space.

How is heat transfered through radiation?
Heat is transferred by energy waves moving through space.
What are the three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through the Earth's system?
convection (from the movement of fluids), conduction (through solids), and radiation (through air and space).
The transfer of thermal energy with no overall transfer of matter?
the transfer of heat through empty space is called RADIATION.
Energy is usually transferred in fluids by radiation true or false?
False radiation is the transfer of energy through space.
What transfers thermal energy through space?
There are three mechanisms by which thermal energy (heat) is transferred through space: conduction, convection, and radiation.1Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through empty space. All objects with a temperature above absolute zero radiate energy at a rate equal to their emissivity multiplied by the rate at which energy would radiate from them if they were a black body. No medium is necessary for radiation to occur; radiation works even in and through a perfect vacuum. The energy from the Sun travels through the vacuum of space before warming the earth. Also, the only way that energy can leave earth is by being radiated to space.The transfer of thermal energy through space is called Radiation
What can be transferred through empty space by?
The answer is heat think that's the answer).
Energy can be transferred through empty space by what?
The answer is heat think that's the answer).
Is radiation the transfer of heat through a solid material?
Radiation can go through transparent materials, but it can also go through empty space. And it is not directly heat that is transferred; it is electromagnetic waves.Radiation can go through transparent materials, but it can also go through empty space.

Which is the only type of energy transfer that can traverse through empty space?
Electromagnetic waves can traverse through empty space. Heat is transferred right from Sun to earth only through empty space
Which flow of thermal energy would be found in space?
In empty space, heat is transferred through radiation.
What is energy that can be transferred through empty space?
heat or light radiation can travel through a 100% vacuum
Does heat travel through empty space by conduction?
No, there can't be conduction in empty space. Heat may travel through empty space through radiation, though.
How is heat transferred through space?
heat is transfered through space by radiation.
How heat travels through empty space?
Heat travels through empty spaces by radiation.
What is the transfer of heat energy through empty space called?
The transfer of heat energy through empty space is called radiation.
The heat from an electric space heater is transferred to you by?
all objects emit electromagnetic radiation through empty space, as well as matter. So feel the heat from the electric heater due to radiation.
What is heat that is transferred by way of waves that can go through empty spaces?
Radiation
