No, heat does not travel through empty space by conduction because conduction requires particles to transfer heat energy from one molecule to another. In empty space, heat transfer occurs through radiation, where energy is transferred via electromagnetic waves.
The energy from Earth's surface and atmosphere moves out into space primarily through radiation. Conduction and convection play a smaller role in transferring heat energy to space.
Heat travels through space by radiation because electromagnetic waves can propagate in a vacuum. In contrast, conduction and convection require a medium like a solid, liquid, or gas to transfer heat through collisions or circulation of particles. Since there is no medium in space, conduction and convection cannot occur.
Conduction requires the presence of matter. The way conduction works, one atom or molecule bumps into another one, transferring heat energy.
Conduction requires particles to physically touch to transfer heat. In a vacuum (like outer space), there aren't enough particles for conduction to happen efficiently. Heat transfer in space primarily occurs through radiation, where electromagnetic waves carry heat energy.

Empty space implies radiation.
Conduction requires particles to physically touch to transfer heat. In a vacuum (like outer space), there aren't enough particles for conduction to happen efficiently. Heat transfer in space primarily occurs through radiation, where electromagnetic waves carry heat energy.
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.
the transfer of heat through empty space is called RADIATION.
Heat energy cannot travel through space by conduction or convection because space is a vacuum without any medium for heat transfer. In space, heat is mainly transferred by radiation, where electromagnetic waves carry energy from one object to another.
Conduction and convection require a medium to transfer heat, but space is a vacuum so there is no medium for these processes to occur. Radiation, on the other hand, can occur in the vacuum of space because it does not need a medium to transfer heat energy.
