Does heat need any medium to travel

We know that light doesn't need a medium through which to travel because the speed of light is experimentally constant: independent of the movement of the source or detector or the direction in which it travels. Light contrasts with sound, which travels through the air (or some other material medium). I hope it helps you

Explanation:
You probably are under the misconception that heat travels only via molecular interactions. (i.e, heat transfer by conduction, which needs a medium of sorts). Heat also transfers by radiation, which the sun is an enormous source of. Electromagnetic radiation does not need a 'medium' to travel through.
