Heat and light are both forms of energy, so yes. If you divide the energy by the speed of light in a vacuum squared (all in the appropriate units), you will obtain the value for the mass-equivalent of that energy.
Light can travel in a straight line. Light can be reflected off surfaces. Light can be absorbed by objects, which can heat them up.
Heat and light energy are called radiant energy because they travel in the form of electromagnetic waves that radiate outwards from a source. This form of energy can travel through empty space and does not require a medium to propagate, making it radiant.
Both heat and light energy are forms of energy that can be transferred from one object to another. They both originate from the sun and travel through space in waves. Heat energy is the transfer of thermal energy due to temperature differences, while light energy is electromagnetic radiation that carries energy.
Absolutely! Electric energy, kinetic energy, sound waves, light waves, heat ... all kinds of energy travel very well through water.

Travels at the speed of light.

Waves of heat and light, called radiation, travel to earth.

They're usually generated by the transmitter ... that's where they come from ... and they travel to the receiver as electromagnetic radiation, just as light from the sun and heat from the fireplace both travel to you.

Heat waves traveling at the speed of light are called RADIATION! :)
When electrons travel through a filament, they collide with atoms in the filament material. These collisions cause the electrons to lose energy and heat up the filament, which then emits light. This process is how an incandescent light bulb produces light.
Actually heat cannot travel through vacuum. sun emits radiations (obviously electromagnetic radiations.) which needs no medium to travel. hence these radiations travel through space and reaches earth where it interacts with atmosphere. when these radiations fall on media like air, water land etc. the radiation is converted into heat energy. Thus it is clear that heat from sun is converted into radiations which travel through space and reaches earth where it is converted to light.
No. Earth would be trapped by the Sun's gravity even if it didn't shone.
