Since the space between the moon and other objects is essentially a vacuum, the only feasible mode for heat transfer is by radiative heat transfer.

Which process explains the transfer of heat from the sun to the moon?

The transfer of heat from the sun to the moon occurs primarily through radiation. Solar radiation, which consists of electromagnetic waves, travels through the vacuum of space and reaches the moon's surface. When this radiation encounters the moon, it is absorbed, warming the lunar surface. Unlike conduction or convection, radiation does not require a medium to transfer heat, making it the dominant process in this context.


What absorbs heat?

Heat Absorption As heat energy reaches an object, it can be absorbed, in a similar manner to the way sponges absorb water. Heat enters an object, warming it. The longer the object is exposed to the heat source, the more heat that it absorbs.

How does the heat pump change the way in which people heat their homes?

If you already have a forced air system, the heat-pump is not going to change the way you heat your home, it will seamlessly heat your home you just won't be using your main furnace until the heat-pump loses it's efficiency in the 20 degree f range. When it reaches that point you switch to the furnace.
