Solution

  1. A material which can attract or repel other materials or substances is known as a magnet.
  2. A magnet posses the property of “Magnetism" which is caused by the motion of electric charges.
  3. Magnets do not require or depend on any medium, they perfectly function in vacuum for attraction and repulsion.
  4. Even in absence of gravitational field the electric charges inside the magnet are capable of attracting and repelling depending on their poles.

That is why, magnets can attract each other in space where there is no gravity.
