"Radiant" sounds like "radiation", which should give you a clue. It travels at the same speed as any other electromagnetic radiation: the speed of light.
In convection heat you heat the air first and then use the hot air to heat yourself. In radiant heat, the energy must be radiated directly from the heat element to your body. Note that radiant is much more directional.
Radiant energy travels through space in the form of electromagnetic waves, specifically as photons. These photons have no mass and move at the speed of light.
Heat and light energy are called radiant energy because they travel in the form of electromagnetic waves that radiate outwards from a source. This form of energy can travel through empty space and does not require a medium to propagate, making it radiant.
The transfer of heat through open space without the use of any medium is called radiation. Radiant heat travels in electromagnetic waves and does not require a medium to carry it. Examples include the heat we feel from the sun or a fireplace.
Radiant heat is transferred through empty space by electromagnetic waves, specifically infrared radiation. These waves do not require a medium to propagate and can travel through the vacuum of space, allowing heat to be transferred from the Sun to Earth.

Radiant heat transmits in the form of waves.
It may be converted into heat (or cause chemical reactions to occur), otherwise it remains radiant energy and escapes back into space. Note that much of what stays as heat is converted back into infra-red radiation and lost into space at night.

Radiant energy is energy that travels in waves and can move through empty space, like light from the sun. It is a form of energy that we can feel as heat or see as light.
Most of the Sun's radiant energy is absorbed by Earth's atmosphere and surface, where it is then converted into heat. Some of it is reflected back into space by clouds and the Earth's surface.
A radiant electric system heats a house by using electric heating elements installed in the floors, walls, or ceiling to generate heat. These elements radiate heat directly to objects and people in the room, warming them up. The heat is emitted evenly and efficiently, providing a comfortable and consistent temperature throughout the space.
Yes, the sun is a source of radiant energy.
