the 3 types of heat transfer is conduction, convection, and radiation.

conduction is when molecules transfer their heat to other molecules when they bump into each other. heat transfers through solids. metals are the best conductors.

convection is when energy is transferred by the movement of energy from a hotter, less dense particle to a colder, denser particle. heat transfered through liquids and gases by circulating currents. these currents are called convection currents.

radiation is when heat transferred through space. thermal energy is transferred in waves. heat radiation is also called infrared radiation. the sun sends its heat through radiation.
