No. Convection requires a medium to carry thermal energy from one place to another. There is no or not enough of any material in space to accomplish this. Radiation will carry thermal energy from the sun to the Earth.

The primary force that causes sea floor to spread?
Convection currents in the earth's mantle. Release of heat from earth's interior.
Where do convection currents flow in Earth?
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Who discovered convection currents?
Arthur Holmes discovered convection currents. He made two contributions on how the planet earth works. He was the very first scientist to understand convection currents in the earth.
What two global systems distribute thermal energy on earth?
convecton currents and previlling winds
The primary force that causes sea floor to spread?
Convection currents in the earth's mantle. Release of heat from earth's interior.
What causes convection currents to form in Earth's atmosphere?
Solar energy
How is the earth's atmosphere trpping thermal energy radiated by the sun?
convection!
What is the link between the radioactive decay of the earth's core and convection currents?
The radioactive decay produces heat energy, which keeps the convection currents moving.
How a convection currents within the earth cause the crust and the continents to move e?
It creates thermal energy and that causes the tectonic plates to move due to high levels of heat.
What produced convection currents in Earth's atmosphere?

How is the rock cycle related to the movement of earth's plate?
convection currents convection currents convection currents
How his thermal energy transferred from one to another by convection?
Convection currents occur in liquid. Heat excites the matter near the source and causes it to rise, making nearby matter rush in to fill the space. Then that matter is heated, rises, and so on. A good example of this is the Earth's mantle: heat from the core is dispersed by convection currents.
Do convection currents cause earths heat?
No. Convection currents are the circular motion of earth's wind. If the earth did not rotate, convection currents would not be. Does that make sense?
Which process causes the transfer of energy by air currents within the Earth's atmosphere?
convection
How do convection currents affect earth?
Convection Currents affect earth by slowly moving the tectonic plates
Where do convection currents flow in Earth?
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
