Conduction in a solid is basically the passage of heat from one particle to the other. Because the particles in solids are close together they pass heat along much more swiftly than a liquid or a gas. Water in a central heating system moves the heat along the heat that is in the water is pumped from radiator to radiator, which is neither by conduction, convection, or radiation. Liquids are usually less good at passing heat along because their particles are much more widely spaced out, and they are further apart in gases. However liquids and gases can pass heat along by convection.

What are the differences between conduction and convection?
Conduction is the transfer of energy by contact while convection is the transfer when liquid particles move in a cyclic manner when it is heated.
How do you explain the difference between conduction convection or radiation can transfer heat explain?
It's a different way to transfer heat. One object emits electromagnetic radiation (for example, infrared - though it depends on the temperature); another object absorbs it. Heat transfer through radiation can occur in empty space; with conduction and convection, that's not possible.
How does the transfer of heat differs between conduction and convection?
conduction's heat energy is sometimes transfered between two different objects. But convection's heat energy is transfered through the particles in a liquid or gas move.
What is the similarities and differences between conduction and convection?
Both conduction and convection are types of heat transfer, meaning they move heat from one object to another. The difference is how they transfer the heat. Conduction transfers heat from touching solid to touching solid, while convection transfers heat in fluids (liquid or a gas).Convection transfers heat by having the warm types of fluid rise while the cold sinks. This creates something called a convection current.
How does Transfer of heat energy in a liquid?
conduction and convection (which requires a circulation of the liquid).

conduction and convection (which requires a circulation of the liquid).
What are three kinds of heat tranfer?
Hm... maybe convection, conduction, and radiation. Conduction is transfer by touch. Convection is transfer by liquid or gas movement. Radiation is transfer by distance.
Heat flows through a liquid or gas by what?
Convection and conduction.
What is it called when Heat energy moves through a liquid?
You are probably thinking of convection, which is transfer of heat by currents set up by variations in density of the liquid.
What is convection conduction?
Conduction is the movement of electricity and/or heat through something. Convection is the transfer of heat through movement in an already heated gas or liquid.
In a liquid can the heat transfer both by conduction and convection?
yes. it is conduction on the surface to begin with. later on, it is convenction
How is the heat transferred between the hot coffee and the part of the spoon that is in the hot coffee?
Heat will be transferred initially by conduction, which is the direct heat transfer between object (your hand and the liquid). If you leave your hand in long enough, convection will become a major factor. Convection is when currents from a liquid circulate to transfer heat.
Which mode is heat transferred in liquid?
Heat in liquid is primarily transferred via convection and conduction. Conduction is a short range force, it arises from the transfer of energy via molecular vibration. Convection is more to do with the motion of the liquid as a whole. Conduction trasmits the heat from molecule to molecule, convection causes motion within the liquid due to hotter parts becoming less dense and rising.
