Solution

In convection process cold, heavy and dense fluid replaces the hot, light and less dense fluid. Its gravitational force that plays the role of pulling down the heavy fluid and replace the light fluid. In absence of gravity this would not be possible hence there won’t be any heat transfer via convection.
