Answer:

Explanation:

Heat energy reaches other planets and satellites of the solar system through the process called radiation.

In this process , the heat energy travels in the form of electromagnetic waves which do not require any material medium . It is so because it is a non mechanical wave . Hence heat energy reaches earth or moon even when there is no material medium between sun and the moon . Other mode of transfer of heat requires medium like solid or liquid or gas to travel from one point to another .
