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.
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.
Does conduction work in vacuum?
No. Conduction needs a material and an atmosphere to be transmitted.
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.

Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can occur?
Radiation is the only type of heat transfer that can occur through vacuum (space with no particles).
Does conduction work in vacuum?
No. Conduction needs a material and an atmosphere to be transmitted.
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.
