Heat transfer in vacuum takes place by the means of heat transfer process called RADIATION. Radiation does not require the presence of a material medium to take place. read more
There are three ways that heat can transfer, from a hotter body to a colder one—conduction via direct contact; convection via the flow of fluids; and radiation via the propagation of electromagnetic waves. An object with temperature higher than the absolute zero emits radiation that can travel in vacuum. read more
Heat Transfer In A Vacuum. The only way heat can transfer through a vacuum is by radiation. Hot objects radiate energy, mostly in the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, and whatever is on the other side of the vacuum can absorb the infrared light and heat up. read more
