Radiation
Convection is "the transfer of heat through the motion of molecules in a fluid."
When molecules collide and there is a transfer of energy as heat, this is called conduction. When fluids of different temperatures transfer energy by movement, this is called convection.
CONVECTION
The heat energy from the radiator transfers that energy to the air molecules next to it. Those molecules then transfer that heat energy to the molecules next to them. This process continues until all the molecules are at the same energy level. This process is call conduction.

Water molecules retain energy due to heat transfer.

Radiation This is because between the Sun and the earth there is a vacuum (there are no air molecules). So conduction and convection will be no use as they need molecules and atoms to work: they transfer heat through them or the molecules carry the heat. HOWEVER: Radiation needs no particles or atoms or molecules or anything for heat transfer, so the sun's light energy is transferred to us by radiation.
