Empty space . because conduction and convection needs other matter to transfer the energy or to be touching it . radiation does not need either because radiation is just sending radiated particles across space and radiation is how earth is heated by the sun .

Answer:

empty space.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other methods of energy transfer make use of the physical motion of the atoms, molecules, or bulk of the medium. Radiation moves energy via electromagnetic waves, rather than physical contact between objects or physical transfer of material.
