No. Radiation transfers energy by the propagation of waves within the electromagnetic spectrum and the travel of photons (wave-particle duality). No matter is moved in this process.

The transfer of energy through space without the help of matter is known as radiation. Radiation can travel through a vacuum and does not require a medium to propagate, as it consists of waves or particles moving through space. Examples include electromagnetic radiation such as light and heat.
Neutrinos are one form of radiation, but not a very efficient one for transferring energy since they readily penetrate most forms of matter. Other forms of radiation such as alpha, beta, gamma, and even neutrons are more effective at energy transfer.
Yes, light transfers energy by carrying electromagnetic radiation. When light interacts with matter, it can transfer energy to the particles it interacts with. This energy transfer is important for various processes including photosynthesis in plants and vision in animals.
convection zone
Radiation.
Thermal energy transfers from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached. This process occurs through conduction, convection, or radiation, depending on the medium through which the energy is moving.
energy of motion
Kinetic energy.
When radiation wavelength becomes longer, the energy of the radiation decreases. This generally corresponds to moving from higher energy regions of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. ultraviolet, X-rays) to lower energy regions (e.g. infrared, radio waves). This change in energy can affect how the radiation interacts with matter and the environment.
Radiation
The transfer of energy as waves moving through space is called radiation. Radiation can be in the form of electromagnetic waves, like light and radio waves, or in the form of particles, like in alpha and beta radiation.
