Radiation is transfered by heat waves these waves continue until it hits a solid or liquid.Radiation heat comes from the sun electric space heaters and light bulbs radiation can travel in places with out matter

Radiation is caused when an atom is unstable. It shoots it off in many forms: alpha, beta, gamma, neutron radiation, and I believe electron capture.

To releive itself of the extra energy, it will shoot off a particle, depending on the type of radation, to become more stable.

**I correct myself, and positron.**

What is heat transfer by radiation?

All objects transfer thermal energy by infra-red radiation. The hotter an object is, the more infra-red radiation it gives off. No particles are involved in radiation, unlike conduction and convection. This means that thermal energy transfer by radiation can even work in space, but conduction and convection cannot. One good example is the sun. Even though it is millions of kilometers away in space, we can still feel its heat. The thermal energy is transferred by electromagnetic waves.
