  1. Radiation.

    That is how the heat from the sun gets to us.

    It uses electromagnetic waves in the IR (Infra Red) band and the visible band.


  2. "Heat" cannot travel in a vacuum but there are ways it can be transmitted. Heat is really just the force with which the particles in an object vibrate and collide with each other. Since there are no particles in a vacuum, heat does not really exist in a vacuum. Energy can be transmitted through a vacuum however by way of electromagnetic radiation. An object can emit this radiation and other objects can absorb it and become hotter because the force of its particles collisions are higher.
