By means of the atomic vibrations about their mean position.
Heat energy is transferred by conduction, convection and radiation. In a vacuum, heat energy can only be transferred by radiation.
In solids, heat is transferred by conduction, the movement (vibration) of molecules. Heat transfer from solids to liquids and gases takes place through convection, or the movement of fluids at the surface. Radiation heat transfer can occur without a medium.
Solids, in general (water is an exception),contain a higher concentration of thermal energy per unit volume than liquids ...and both solids and liquids contain a higher concentration that gasses.
Yes, liquids heat up faster than solids.
Since most of the time we are concerned with heat being transferred via conduction, the denser the material, the easier it is to conduct heat. Except for the rare anomaly (think ice vs liquid water) solids are denser than their corresponding liquid forms. All that is a gross simplification of course. Many liquids heat quite a bit better than solids and convection (which can occur in liquids but not solids) can greatly aid in the speed of "heating up", so the generalization that solids heat up faster than liquids is only a tendency rather than a rule.

In solids, heat is transferred by conduction, the movement (vibration) of molecules. Heat transfer from solids to liquids and gases takes place through convection, or the movement of fluids at the surface. Radiation heat transfer can occur without a medium.
Radiation in heat transfer is one of three known modes of heat transfer: conduction (as heat transfer in solids and less effective in liquids)), Convection (as in liquids and gases), and radiation (that not necessarily require a medium for the transfer). Heat of sun is transferred to us in the vacuum space by radiation heat transfer.

Convection
the process of transfer of heat energy in solids is known as conduction.. For more info-- the process of transfer of heat energy in liquids and gases is known as convection.. And the process of transfer of heat energy without any material medium is known as radiation..
Heat them.

Solids are better heat conductors than liquids because their particles are closely packed and connected. In solids, heat energy moves easily through vibrations and strong bonds between particles. Liquids, on the other hand, have looser arrangements and weaker connections between particles, making it harder for heat to travel through them.
Conduction is the way in which heat travels through solids
