radiation is heat transfer through light (both visible and not). with a nuclear bomb, surrounding distant flammeables combust because of irradiated infrared energy. conduction is heat transfer through direct contact. a pot on the stove gets heated by the flame that touches it. convection is heat transfer through a medium (really really slow).

What are the three forms of heat transfer?

The three forms of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact of particles, convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases, and radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.


Does convection or conduction travel at the speed of light?

No. The speeds of convection and conduction vary, but they are nowhere near the speed of light.
