उत्तर
Convection of heat does not require a medium.
Explanation:
In convection, when the temperature of a substance increases due to heat, its molecules move faster, causing them to rise. As a result, cooler and denser objects sink to the bottom. This process is possible only when a substance (liquid or gas) is present, as it requires the mobility and movement of molecules.
