in space they're just called "heaters"
No.
The extension cords aren’t long enough.
What is space?
Baby don't hurt me

A space heater in space could only transfer its heat through radiation instead of conduction and convection, so only a small portion of its heat would escape. It would get hotter and hotter until it melts and stops working.
Essentially, that's how the ISS regulates temperatures. It has big external panels that radiate excess heat into space because there's very little matter up there to conduct heat away.
Wouldn't that depend on the type?
Some are radiant only, wouldn't those function normally? (I'm really not sure how much even a radiant relies on air flow to keep from overhearing).
It only works in space.
not as well; many heaters on earth rely on convection to spread the heat throughout the room. no convection in space.
