Heat transfer through radiation is probably best illustrated by the warming of the earth by the sun. Electromagnetic energy from the sun in the form of light travels through the vacuum of space to reach the earth and warm us.

∙ 10y agoSome examples of energy transfer by radiation are:
1) standing in sunlight and feeling the heat on your face (UV radiation is entering the skin, converting to infrared radiation, and is absorbed by your tissues);
2) sitting near a fire and feeling the heat on your skin (infrared radiation transfer);
3) chemical reactions that occur due to a source of radioactivity (gamma radiation, being high-energy photons, travel from the radioactive source through the air into the target sample, and induce chemical reactions

Transfer of heat through open space?
transfer of heat through open space is radiation
Does radiation heat the earth through convection?
Yes. Radiation waves given off by the sun, heat the Earth through convection. Convection is the movement of heat transfer through liquids or gases, as seen in this example.
Heat transfer through radiation?
Ha
Does heat being transferred to radiation when things touch?
No heat transfer through objects touching is called conduction. Transfer by radiation occurs when heat moves in the form of electromagnetic waves such as light or infrared rays. The warmth you feel from sunlight is an example of radiation.
How does heat move when there is no matter to transfer it?
Through radiation. Such as we receive heat from the sun through radiation when it's vacuum in space.
What is the methods of heat transfer?
Heat can be transferred in 3 ways: Conduction, or through direct contact, Convection, or transfer of heat through a fluid, or Radiation, or heat transfer through space in the form of electromagnetic waves.

A substance can absorb heat energy by the process of?
There are three methods by which substances absorb heat. These are conduction, or heat transfer through contact, convection, or heat transfer through fluid motion, and radiation, or heat transfer through electromagnetic radiation.
