No, heat does not require a medium to travel. Heat can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation, and can travel through a vacuum as well.
Conduction and convection require a medium (such as a solid or fluid) to transfer heat, while radiation does not need a medium and can transfer heat through electromagnetic waves.
Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact. In the case of the Earth, there is no medium for heat to travel through via conduction since space is a vacuum. Instead, heat from the Sun reaches Earth through radiation, which does not require a medium.
Energy may not be transferred by conduction or convection if there is a lack of a medium to conduct or convect the energy, such as in a vacuum. In such cases, energy can be transferred through radiation, which does not require a medium and can travel through empty space.
Conduction and convection are both methods of heat transfer. They both require a material medium for the transfer to occur - conduction is through direct contact between materials, while convection involves the movement of fluids.
Conduction and convection require a medium to transfer heat, but space is a vacuum so there is no medium for these processes to occur. Radiation, on the other hand, can occur in the vacuum of space because it does not need a medium to transfer heat energy.
Heat travels through space by radiation because electromagnetic waves can propagate in a vacuum. In contrast, conduction and convection require a medium like a solid, liquid, or gas to transfer heat through collisions or circulation of particles. Since there is no medium in space, conduction and convection cannot occur.
Heat transfer by radiation does not require a medium for transfer, as it can occur through electromagnetic waves. In contrast, convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases, while conduction occurs through direct contact between materials. Radiation can occur in a vacuum, while convection and conduction require a medium.

Conduction and convection require a medium (such as a solid or fluid) to transfer heat, whereas radiation can transfer heat through empty space without a medium. Radiation uses electromagnetic waves to transfer heat instead of relying on a material medium.
Conduction and convection require the presence of a medium (such as air or water) for the transfer of heat. In a vacuum, there is no medium to transfer heat, so conduction and convection cannot occur. Heat in a vacuum can only be transferred through radiation.
Heat transfer by means of radiation doesn't heat the medium. In fact, radiation doesn't even require a medium in order to work. Strictly speaking, convection doesn't heat the medium either. Convection transfers heat by moving the medium around. Of course, heat also spreads throughout the medium by conduction while the convection is going on.
