Answer:

radiation

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat transfer is the process of propagating heat in different media. Three types of heat transfer are known: conduction, convection and radiation

The transfer by radiation is given at a distance. In fact, at any distance, as long as there is nothing that absorbs that energy along the way, and does not need a means to propagate.
