How fast molecules are moving is dependent on the amount of kinetic energy the particle posses. The more kinetic (movement) energy the particle has, the fast it is moving. Also keep in mind that temperature is the average kinetic energy of a bunch of molecules (for instance, your coffee this morning). As your heat up your coffee, you are increasing the amount of movement occurring within the mug, while cooling it down will slow the movements of the particles.

Increase in temperature = increase in average kinetic energy = fast moving particles

What makes hot air turn to cold air?

Heat is defined by how fast molecules are moving. Fast moving molecules will have a higher temperature than slow moving molecules. The kinetic energy of the hot air is transferred to the cold air, which means the cold air becomes a little warmer, and the hot air becomes cooler.

What Heat is transferred by conduction by what moving molecules bump into what moving molecules are transfer what energy?

Heat is transferred by conduction when fast-moving molecules collide with slower-moving molecules, transferring kinetic energy. This causes the slower molecules to speed up and the faster molecules to slow down, leading to a transfer of thermal energy from hot regions to cold regions within a material.
