What else can I help you with?
What is the temperature inside of a vacuum?
In a vacuum temperature is inapplicable. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of the molecules that fill a defined space. In a vacuum there are no molecules so --- no temperature.
Is heat energy can be stored in vacuum?
No, heat energy cannot be stored in a vacuum because vacuum is an absence of matter that could hold or transfer heat. Heat needs matter to transfer through conduction, convection, or radiation. In a vacuum, there is no medium for heat transfer to occur.
Why can not heat be conducted by vacuum?
Heat conduction requires a medium for the transfer of thermal energy. In a vacuum, there are no particles to carry the heat energy from one place to another. Therefore, heat cannot be conducted through a vacuum.
Is it possible for heat to flow across a vacuum?
Heat needs something to "flow" through. In a vacuum it will not have a medium to travel through and so heat cannot flow across a vacuum. Radiant heat will travel through a vacuum but here it is the light energy that is passing through the vacuum, not the heat energy.
Does heat travel in a vacuum?
Lets look at a vacuum and heat. Heat is the treansfer of energy from one piece of matter to another. A vacuum is the absence of matter. Heat cannot transfer in a vacuum because there must be matter in close proximity to other matter for heat to travel.
How a vacuum conducts heat?
A vacuum does NOT conduct heat !

Is vacuum a conductor of heat?
No, vacuum is actually an insulator of heat as it lacks particles to transfer heat through conduction. In a vacuum, heat can only be transferred through radiation, which is much less efficient than conduction.
What is the only form of heat transfer that can cross a vacuum?
The only form of heat transfer that can cross a vacuum is radiation. Radiation does not require a medium to transfer heat and can travel through the vacuum of space.
Does heat disperse in a vacuum?
In a vacuum, heat disperses through radiation, where it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves. Since there are no particles for conduction or convection in a vacuum, radiation is the primary method of heat transfer.
What could you heat water in that would retain the heat the longest?
A vacuum would retain the heat best, hence a thermos flask has a vacuum around it =-)
Heat transfer by radiation is the only method of heat transfer that can travel through a vacuum. What is a vacuum?
A vacuum is a space where there is no, or very little matter (ex. air molecules). One example of a vacuum is outer space. Because there is no matter for heat to travel through via convection or conduction, radiation is the only heat transfer that can take place in a vacuum.
What methods of heat transfer are prevented by the vacuum?
Conduction and convection are prevented by a vacuum because there are no particles to transfer heat through direct contact or movement. Radiation is the only method of heat transfer that can occur in a vacuum, as it does not require a medium to propagate the heat.
