No, that would be convection.

How does heat travel through your home?
Heat energy travels in three ways: convection, radiation, and conduction. The radiation from the sun heats the air around the house, making the walls warm. Than, the walls warm up the air inside the house. The sun rays go through the windows, which will trap heat. The heated air will rise, and stay there unless there is an escape route for it.
Can heat travel by conduction through a gas?
No, it travels by convection. Heat rises in the air and then the cool air is drawn in by the heat.
What are the types of heat flow and how do they differ?
Conduction (The transfer of heat from one substance to another by direct contact.) Convection (A technical way of saying that heat rises and this sets up air currents.) Radiation (Radiation describes any process in which energy travels through a medium or through space, ultimately to be absorbed by another body.)
Fast particles colliding with slower particles is this type of heat transfer?
radiation air travels this way false or true?
How does RF signal travel in air?
Electromagnetic radiation travels freely through air, much as it does through a vacuum, as air is not very dense. However, the speed of light through air is slightly reduced.
How does heat travels if there is air?
Heat travels through water and air primarily through conduction and convection. Radiation is also a significant means of heat transfer through air, but less so through water.
What are the different types of heat?
Radiation: How heat travels through a vacuum. Convention: Hot air rising. Conduction: the transfer of heat from one molecule to another through a substance. Go here for more information: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-connection-between-radiation-convection-and-conduction.htm
What are the two ways that heat travels?
Radiation,Convection and for a extra one conduction.For those of you who don't know condensation is not a way by which heat travels

How long it takes heat to travel one meter?
How fast heat travels depends upon which method it uses to travel (conduction/ convection/radiation) and what it is travelling through (metal/air/water etc.). heat travels much more quickly through metal because metals are good thermal conductors.
Can heat travel by conduction through a gas?
No, it travels by convection. Heat rises in the air and then the cool air is drawn in by the heat.
Is radiation heat traveling in wave through the air?
yes
Heat given off by a fire in a fireplace is an example of - A conduction B Convection C radiation D insolation?
Radiation. Conduction is when one object takes heat from an object adjacent to it, like your hand on a hot plate. Convection is when heat travels through a gas or a liquid to get from one place to another, like a hair dryer to your hair. And Radiation is when heat travels through rays like the sun or a flame. Based on technicalities regarding the question, the flame can heat the surrounding air and travel to you, thus being a convection current.

Radiation (Radiation describes any process in which energy travels through a medium or through space, ultimately to be absorbed by another body.)
What are the types of heat transfers?
Conduction: Transfer of heat in solids Convection: Transfer of heat in liquid and gases (convection currents are the motion of which the heat travels in, see hot air balloon's) Radiation: Transfer of heat through vacuum (space i.e no particles)
Fast particles colliding with slower particles is this type of heat transfer?
radiation air travels this way false or true?

Electromagnetic radiation travels freely through air, much as it does through a vacuum, as air is not very dense. However, the speed of light through air is slightly reduced.
