How is heat transferrred through space?
Through radiation, like infrared radiation, visible light, etc.
Which of these is constant for ALL types of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum?
Answer = Velocity Velocity is the speed of light and, the speed of light, is a constant among Electromagnetic Radiation in the vacuum of space.
What is energy that can be transferred through empty space?
heat or light radiation can travel through a 100% vacuum
The transfer of energy as waves moving through space is called?
Radiation
What is the transfer of energy as waves moving through space?
Energy transfer by waves or particles of light is called radiation.
How do you watch weather from space?
There are weather sattellites that orbit the Earth that can detect reflected radiation, emitted radiation, or radiation reflected only by water vapour as well as satellites that emit microwave radiation to detect the clouds or precipitation.
What exist in space?
mainly electromagnetic radiation, heat and light, but with a dash of radio waves and particles as well.Gravity waves should exist as well, but we yet have the apparatus to reliably detect them.

Why can heat travel through space by radiation but not by conduction and convection?
For conduction and convection we need a material medium. But for radiation such a meaterial medium is not necessary. So in free space radiation can pass through easily.

Through radiation, like infrared radiation, visible light, etc.
How is thermal energy transferred though empty space?
Radiation (electromagnetic radiation does not require a medium, so light, and all other forms, including infrared radiation, can traverse empty space).
Why are observatories launched into space?
Earth's moving atmosphere bends and distorts the light from distant stars and galaxies. In space, observatories can see far more clearly. they can also pick up radiation (such as x-rays) that we can't detect on earth because it is absorbed by molecules in the atmosphere.
What can travel though space without a medium?
Light, radiation, radio waves.
What kind of electromagnetic radiation does the Hubble Space Telescope collect?
visible light
What is it called when energy transfers through space by visible light ultraviolet radiation and other forms of electromagnetic waves?
Radiation
Why do astronauts need protection against radiation?
1. on earth light and radiation from space is filtered in the atmosphere, however when going out of the atmosphere radiation can become unpleasant.
Why does radiation don't need any substance to travel?
Radiation is like light, it can travel through empty space. The "why" is a bit complex; basically, light, as well as similar radiations (including heat radiation) consists of electromagnetic waves. These can travel through empty space, since they are just waves in the electric and magnetic properties of space.
