It is absorbed by other objects near the heat source, just like light is absorbed by object close to the light source.
It travels in waves like visible light, but is invisible since it is infrared. what really causes the heat is object absorbing the radiation instead of bouncing it.
Space is very cold, but the side you facing the sun would be extremely hot since your spacesuit is absorbing all the infrared radiation from the sun on one side. The opposite side of you would be very cold since it is not in the direct sunlight.
