Do radio waves need a medium to travel through?

Why does a sound wave travel through a medium?
waves are easily travel in medium.....
Why can heat travel through space by radiation but not by conduction and convection?
For conduction and convection we need a material medium. But for radiation such a meaterial medium is not necessary. So in free space radiation can pass through easily.
What needs a medium substance to travel through?
Mechanical waves need a medium substance to travel through. Electromagnetic do not.
What do electromagnetic waves and mechanical waves have in common?

What can travel through space without a(n) medium?
Electromagnetic waves can travel through space without a medium.
Does light need a medium through which to travel?
No, it does not. It can travel through any open space. Sound, unlike light, needs a medium to travel. So light can travel through outer space but sound cannot because there is no medium.
