Convection A+ :)
Heat energy is usually transmitted through liquids and gases by convection (warmer, less dense material rises, and sinks again when it cools).
All states of matter:solids, liquids and gases. But not through vacuum.
Conduction :)

Heat energy is normally transmitted through solids by conduction.
Energy transmitted through a tight coil of wire
Some waves can transfer energy only through liquids and solids, but not through gases or vacuum. Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.
Sound is mechanical energy. It's a vibration or oscillation, and it is transmitted as a wave of pressure and displacement. Like all mechanical waves, sound requires a medium through which to travel, and the source transfers mechanical energy into the medium. Solids and fluids (liquids or gasses) serve as mediums for the transmission of sound waves.
Through the atmosphere rather than by the atmosphere, then that would be electromagnetic energy.
electromagnetic energy
yes.
