Radiation in space refers to high-energy particles emitted from the sun and other sources. When astronauts travel through space, they are exposed to this radiation, which can potentially be harmful to their health. Shielding and other protective measures are used to minimize the risks associated with space radiation exposure.

What is the energy that can travel through empty space or through matter?

Electromagnetic energy, such as light and radio waves, can travel through empty space or through matter. This type of energy does not require a medium to propagate and can travel vast distances through the vacuum of space.


Can electromagnetic radiation travel through empty space?

Yes it can, and it does.


What form does energy travel through space?

Radiation energy


Can radiation travel through a vacuum?

Yeah, radiation can travel in vacuum and a practical example of it is the radiation of sun coming to earth and traveling through space.


Which of these can radiation travel through?

Radiation can travel through air, water, and some solids like glass and metals. However, the ability of radiation to pass through different materials depends on the type of radiation (such as alpha, beta, or gamma) and the thickness and density of the material.


What is heat tranferred across empty space called?

Heat transferred across empty space is called radiation. Radiation does not require a medium to transport heat and can travel through a vacuum. It is how energy from the sun reaches the Earth.


Why cant thermal radiation move through space by conduction or convection?

Because in space there are no particles (this is called a vacuum), however conduction and convection require particles to work eg. solids, liquids and gases have particle arrangements. So thermal radiation has to travel through space via radiation as space is a vacuum and particle-less.
