Best Answer

A good conducter of what?

A vaccum contains nothing, no gas, no matter, no sub-atomic particles so it cannot conduct anything.

But particles and waves can travel through it, like light or radio waves.

How can vacuum be good conductor of heat?

There are three modes of conduction of heat :-1.conduction2. convection3. radiationheat flow through vacuum comes under heat flow through radiation. Im this case heat acts as an electromagnetic wave , as these waves can propagate through vacuum energy is transferred even though there is no contact between the source and the drain(sink/destination .... whatever).Note :- Actually we discussions pertaining to the matter weather vacuum is a good conductor or bad conductor are inappropriate as vacuum is not a material to discuss its properties, its just like asking give me a dozen of water(i am not intentionally sarcastic i just want to explain how weird it is to say that vacuum is a good conductor).
