Radiation is the means of heat conduction through electromagnetic (EM) waves. These waves are known as Thermal radiation and differ from other EM waves as Radio waves, Microwaves etc.
The other two methods of heat transfer are Conduction and Convection where both require a medium (such as air, water etc.) for the transfer to take place.

How do raidiators in homes transfer heat?
Radiators transfer heat by electromagnetic waves. The sun waves/rays send electromagnetic waves.
What type of energy transfer that can occur in empty space is?
Electromagnetic energy can propogate through a vacuum, so energy transfer can occur in the form of light, heat, x rays, gamma rays, gamma rays etc.
How does vasodiliation increase heat transfer to environment?
It increases the surface area of blood that is exposed to the environment, which means there is a greater heat transfer capacity - meaning heat transfer is increased.
Energy is usually transferred in fluids by radiation true or false?
False radiation is the transfer of energy through space.
How are direct rays different from indirect rays?
direct rays are from the sun and indirect rays are from something else, like it was reflected or something(ex:the moon. It bounces the sun's rays) AKT♥
What electromagnetic rays that transfer heat called?
It is called radiation.
What electromagnetic rays that transfer heat are called what?
It is called radiation.

What electromagnetics rays that transfer heat ar called?
It is called radiation.

What is radiation in heat transfer?
Radiation in heat transfer is one of three known modes of heat transfer: conduction (as heat transfer in solids and less effective in liquids)), Convection (as in liquids and gases), and radiation (that not necessarily require a medium for the transfer). Heat of sun is transferred to us in the vacuum space by radiation heat transfer.
How does vasodiliation increase heat transfer to environment?
It increases the surface area of blood that is exposed to the environment, which means there is a greater heat transfer capacity - meaning heat transfer is increased.
What process is a method of heat transfer but it does not contribute to the moving heat energy in and around the earth?
There are three means of heat transfer, Convection, conduction, and radiation. All three occur to some degree in all heat transfer processes.
What is the word that means the transfer of heat?
conduction, convection, radiation
Does heat being transferred to radiation when things touch?
No heat transfer through objects touching is called conduction. Transfer by radiation occurs when heat moves in the form of electromagnetic waves such as light or infrared rays. The warmth you feel from sunlight is an example of radiation.
When a warmer object touches a cooler object what does heat move by?
if you mean to what way it transfer, always the heat is going to move to the cooler object. The means of heat transfer is conduction.
What is convective heat transfer?
Convection heat transfer is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid.
