Unlike conduction and convection, which need a medium to travel through, radiant energy travels through the vacuum of space. Is this statement true or false?

True.

Radiant energy, also known as electromagnetic radiation, can indeed travel through the vacuum of space because it does not require a medium (such as air or a solid) to propagate.

It can move through the vacuum of space in the form of electromagnetic waves, including visible light, radio waves, microwaves, and more.
