Why does a pan sitting on top of a HOT stove get hot?

The pan gets hot on a hot stove because of conduction, which is the transfer of heat energy from the stove to the pan through direct contact. The stove's heat causes the molecules in the pan to vibrate and create thermal energy, increasing the pan's temperature.

How does your hand gets hot when you touch a hot pan?

When you touch a hot pan, the heat is transferred from the pan to your hand by a process called conduction. The molecules in the pan vibrate faster due to the heat, passing the energy to the molecules in your hand, which causes them to vibrate faster as well. This increase in vibration is perceived by your nerves as heat.
