is it because the particles of the gas are far from each other, which will make it hard for the heat to transfer?!.
if its correct please give a more correct answer,
and if its not. tell me what,
=D

isnt space vacumn? so there is no molecules at all. w/o molecules bouncing off each other to transfer the heat or sound there is no way heat can get here.
im so glad i still rmb this. but i kind of forgot how exactly heat gets to earth. i think it's convection or radiation

CONDUCTION MEANS THE HEAT TRAVELS THROUGH AN OBJECT FROM ITS SOURCE TO WHEREVER AND THAT REQUIRES THE OBJECT TO TOUCH THE SOURCE AND WHERE IT IS TRAVELING TO AND SINCE THERE IS NOTHING WHICH TOUCHES THE SUN AND THE EARTH, THE HEATING OF THE EARTH BY THE SUN CANNOT BE BY CONDUCTION.

its because the space between the Earth and the Sun is mostly vacuum.......so there are few molecules to conduct the heat

Vacuum in between does not permit conduction or convection. It has to be radiation.

Because there is no conduction medium.

no medium for conduction.
