Conduction is one of modes of heat transfer. Remember "heat" is energy in transit. If it isn't moving from one place to another, it's just internal energy. When we talk about conduction we are talking about heat transferring between things in contact with one another. Other modes of heat transfer are convection (hot liquid or gas moving from one place to another because of differences in density or because it is pushed, like by a fan), and radiation - which is how the sun heats up the earth.

What is similar between radiation and conduction?
Heat transfer.
How are conduction and convection similar?
they are two modes of heat transfer and both mean heat transfer involving materials
Does conduction produce heat?
no, conduction describes how the heat is transported not how it is generated. With conduction, a heat source is still needed.
What are two examples of heat conduction that are observable in everyday life?
Two examples of heat conduction that are observable in everyday life:- heat conduction through walls- heat conduction through clothing- heat conduction from many home appliances
What is the differ of conduction and convection?
conduction by itself is slower to heat but conduction and convection is faster to heat
How are heat and conduction related?
Conduction is one way that heat spreads.
What is the transfer of heat by particles colliding with each other called?
That sounds like a description of heat conduction.
What is the term for heat transfer of direct contact?
Conduction is the term for heat transfer because of direct contact.
Conduction how does heat moves?
Conduction heat moves by using movement of fluids.
How does conduction conduct heat?
Conduction heat moves by using movement of fluids.
Heat conduction is most efficient in?
Heat con conduction is efficient metals
How does the heat flow in conduction?
In Conduction the heat flows by molecular contact (i.e.) by touch)
