Radiation is the type of heat transfer that can travel the furthest distance because it does not require a medium to carry the heat. Radiation can travel through the vacuum of space, which makes it capable of traveling long distances.

What is the fastest heat transfer?

It depends on the medium of heat transfer. For solids, it is conduction heat transfer. For liquids and gases, it is convection heat transfer. for vacuum (no medium), it is radiation heat transfer.
