Heat can travel through outer space as radiation. However, space is more or less a vacuum, so it's not a conductor of heat.

Is outter space a good conductor or insulator for thermal energy?

Outer space is NOT a good conductor because their is no matter in space. Good conductors hold heat well and since their is no matter in space, it cannot be a good conductor. Space has to be a good insulator because it can't hold heat.


How does a space suit allow an astronaut to walk in outer space?

The suit allows the person to walk in outer space, because the suit is designed to with stand the extreme heat and cold of outer space.


What is the movement of heat through outer space?

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.


Why is outer space cold?

because the sun faces the earth while the earth is being hot Outer space is neither hot nor cold. Temperature measures the energy of atomic particles. Sense there is no atomic particles in the vacuum of outer space there is no temperature.


Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by?

Earth loses heat energy to outer space mainly by radiation. This process involves the transfer of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation. These waves move through the vacuum of space and carry away thermal energy from the Earth's surface and atmosphere.


How does heat enter earth when outer space is very cold?

Electromagnetic radiation.


Is fabric a conductor of heat?

It is not a heat conductor.


What does a current carrying conductor produce?

Why a diamond is a carbon but not heat conductor?

because it is a heat conductor!


Is duct tape a good conductor of heat?

Duct tape is not a good conductor of heat. Its composition and thickness make it a poor conductor, so it does not readily transfer heat.


Can liquids exist in space?

Liquids can exist in outer space, if they are in an enclosed area, such as a space craft, or a space station. They can not exist in a liquid state in unprotected outer space. Either they will freeze due to the extreme cold, or they will melt (or turn to gas) due to extreme heat.


What is natural object in outer space that can release heat and light energy?

A star, a.k.a. a sun.
