Answer 2

In space, a satellite exchanges heat with its surroundings through radiation.

• Usually, heat transfer is carried out by the process of convection.
• But in space, there is no medium for convection to happen.
• Thus in space radiation results in heat exchange.
• In space, objects can emit radiations in a wide range of wavelengths as well as absorb radiation well.
• The part of the satellite facing the sun will absorb heat.
• The part of the satellite facing away from the sun will radiate heat.
• This leads to the exchange of heat in space.
• To minimize the absorption of energy, satellites are designed using reflective foil wherever it is possible.
• To dissipate excess heat, designers use heat radiating fins on the dark side of the satellite.
