Question

Would convection work if there were no
gravity? Why
or
why not

Answer 1

Absolutely, convection can occur in the absence of gravity. Convection in general and “natural convection” are two different things. Convection is a mode of heat transfer that involves bulk fluid motion. So take your space ship somewhere with negligible gravitational fields and shoot yourself in the face with a water gun full of cold water. Have a great day!

Answer 2

no

Step-by-step explanation:

Because gravity is necessary for density differences to arise, convection wouldn't happen in a zero-gravity environment such as space.
