It is called conduction.
What happens to the thermal energy the particles in steam have when it comes into contact with your skin?
In general, when a hot object comes in contact with a cold object, heat (thermal energy) is transferred from the hotter to the colder object.

Why the earth is not thermal equilibrium with the sun?
because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.

Heat is transferred through contact between molecules.
What type of energy is used when a hot spoon becomes in contact with ice cream and then it melts?
the thermal energy in the spoon comes in contact with the kinetic energy used to put the spoon in to the ice cream thus, melting the ice cream
