What do conduction and convection use that radiation does not?
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.
What does conduction and convection have in common?
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.
Why can't conduction and convection occur in space like radiation?
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.
Does convection require medium?
yes
In which form of heat transfer is a medium not required?
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.
Why can't the suns heat reach us by conduction or convection?
because there is no medium, conduction and convection need medium to spread through, they cannot spread through vacuum.
What do conduction and convection use that radiation does not?
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.
Which method of heat transfer use a medium?
Both conduction and convection require an intervening medium, but convection requires the medium to be able to move.
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 do conduction and convection do that radiation does notwhat does radiation use instead?
Conduction and convection badly needs material medium but radiation does not need a material medium as an essential one. It could traverse even in free space in the form of electromagnetic waves
How can heat move without having matter to move it?
By radiation. Only conduction and convection need a medium in which to move
Does convection require medium?
yes
What makes convection and conduction possible?
Lack of a flow medium will inhibit conduction and convection.

Why does convection not happen in a vacuum?
Convection requires a medium, such as a gas or liquid, to transfer heat through the motion of the medium itself. In a vacuum, there is no medium to carry the heat, so convection cannot occur. Heat transfer in a vacuum primarily occurs through radiation.
