it is because silver nitrate is an ionic compound and this it's molecules are tightly packed with each other ans thus can't carry charge.
whereas in it's aqueous solution the electrons are free to move and thus they carry the charge

Silver nitrate is a salt which causes no free electron to conduct electricity. Whereas in solution there's many free ions which can conduct electricity.
Explanation:
- Silver nitrate is an ionic salt formed of silver and nitrates.
- Silver nitrate has silver cation and nitrate anion.
- Silver nitrate is an ionic solid which has a particular solid character which solid cubical structure.
- Silver nitrate in solution has the ions dissociated freely into silver cations and nitrate anions.
- Being in ionic state in liquid, the ions can take part in the conduction of electricity.
- So ionic solution can transfer electricity, while solid can't.
