No. Conduction needs a material and an atmosphere to be transmitted.

In a vacuum there is no matter. do you think conduction can take place in vacuum?

Conduction cannot occur within a vacuum because it requires a substrate (i.e. matter) for energy to be transferred.

Can conduction travel through a vacuum?

Conduction occurs between two contacting objects, so whether or not they're in a vacuum is irrelevant.


Does conduction require a medum?

Yes, since there would be no conduction of sound in a vacuum.


Why is there no heat transfer by convection or conduction through a vacuum?

Conduction needs a conducting medium. Convection needs something to convect. Neither exists in a vacuum.


Can convection take place in a vacuum?

No


Which form of heat transfer is reduced by the use of vacuum inside a vacuum flask?

The vacuum reduces both conduction and convection.

Why cant thermal radiation move through space by conduction or convection?

Because in space there are no particles (this is called a vacuum), however conduction and convection require particles to work eg. solids, liquids and gases have particle arrangements. So thermal radiation has to travel through space via radiation as space is a vacuum and particle-less.


What important ability or property does electromagnetic radiation have that other energy transport processes such as conduction and convection do not?

Electromagnetic radiation can travel through a vacuum (like the vacuum of space), while conduction and convection require matter to do their thing.


What is the only way heat travels through a vacuum?

by radiation - convection and conduction cannot occur in a vacuum!


Why can heat travel through space by radiation but not by conduction or convection?

Because conduction and convection require particles to transfer heat. Space is a vacuum (has no particles in it) so convection and conduction cannot occur.
