Yes, in general friction can occur in a vacuum, but the only kind of friction that doesn't occur in a vacuum is, of course, air friction. There is no drag force on an object falling in a vacuum.

What doesn't have lots of friction?
Objects with smooth surfaces or lubrication between them tend to have less friction. In a vacuum or in microgravity environments, there is also less friction between objects.
Does friction acts only on rough surfaces?
No, friction can occur on both rough and smooth surfaces. The roughness of a surface can affect the amount of friction generated, but it is not a requirement for friction to occur. Friction is a force that resists the relative motion between two surfaces in contact.
Does friction only occur on earth?
Friction occurs between two surfaces in contact with each other. While friction is commonly experienced on Earth due to the presence of solid surfaces, it can also occur in other environments, such as in space where interactions between objects can create friction.
Does friction occurs only between solids?
No, friction can occur between any two surfaces in contact, regardless of whether they are both solids. Friction can also occur between a solid and a liquid, a liquid and a liquid, or a solid and a gas.
Why does hoovering produce very low friction?
Hoovering (vacuuming) creates low friction because the vacuum cleaner's rotating brush agitates the carpet fibers, allowing smooth movement of the vacuum head on the surface. As the brush loosens dirt and debris, it reduces the resistance when moving the vacuum across the floor. Additionally, the suction generated by the vacuum helps pull the brush and any particles toward the intake, decreasing the friction between the brush and the floor.
Is there friction in vacuum?
no
Is there less friction in vacuum?
In an atmosphere, when an object moves through the air it experiences friction with the air through which it moves. In a vacuum, there is no air and therefore no friction with an atmosphere as the result of an object moving through space. However, if two surfaces are moving against each other, there would still be friction from that action, even in a vacuum. In fact, in the absence of air that kind of friction could be increased.
Is there is friction if the object is moving in vacuum with 0 gravitational force?
No, there is not.
When does rolling friction occur?
i dnt no
Where do chemical reactions NOT occur?
In a vacuum
What must occur for a vacuum to be produced?
WE CAN GET VACUU BY REMOVING AIR BY VACUUM PUMP.
When does sliding friction occur?
Sliding Friction Occurs When And Object Is Being Slided On The Ground
Why does some friction occur with seemingly smoth surfaces?
Some friction will occur with seemingly smooth surfaces because at a molecular level, nothing is smooth.

Can magnetic field occur in vacuum?
Yes it can
Where dos friction occur in gymnastics?
This would be sliding friction and it could happen when:run on the floor
