No, there can't be conduction in empty space. Heat may travel through empty space through radiation, though.

Which can travel through empty space out of insulator convection electomagnetic conduction or radiation?

Radiation can travel through empty space. The radiation in question is electromagnetic waves.


Why cant energy travel by conduction through empty space?

Conduction requires the presence of matter. The way conduction works, one atom or molecule bumps into another one, transferring heat energy.


The transfer of energy through empty space is called?

Conduction


Can travel though empty space?

Yes, you can travel through empty space. The Sun, Earth, moon, satellites, space ships, atoms, and subatomic particles all travel through empty space. Greater than 99.999% of matter is empty space.


Which do not travel through empty space?

Sound waves do not travel through empty space because they require a medium, such as air, water, or a solid, to propagate. Similarly, mechanical waves like seismic waves also need a medium to travel and cannot propagate through empty space.


Why is the energy not transferred by conduction or convention?

Energy may not be transferred by conduction or convection if there is a lack of a medium to conduct or convect the energy, such as in a vacuum. In such cases, energy can be transferred through radiation, which does not require a medium and can travel through empty space.

What travels through empty space?

Electromagnetic waves, such as light and radio waves, can travel through empty space. These waves do not require a medium to propagate, allowing them to travel through the vacuum of space.


Why an electromagnetic wave can travel through empty space?

Because space is not empty, it has a Quantum Ether.


Why cant sound trave through empty space?

Sound requires a medium, such as air or water, to travel through. In the absence of a medium, such as in empty space, there are no particles for sound waves to propagate through, so sound cannot travel.


Is empty space a good insulator and why?

Empty space is a good insulator because it doesn't contain molecules to transfer heat through conduction or convection. With no particles to carry heat energy, empty space acts as a barrier for heat transfer, making it an effective insulator in vacuum conditions.


Does heat travel through particles?

Yes, heat is transferred through particles by conduction, convection, or radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between particles, while in convection, it is transferred through the movement of particles in a fluid. Radiation allows heat to travel through empty space via electromagnetic waves.
