Convection is a natural process that occurs in nature all the time, and even in your kitchen. Take a pot of boiling water for example. the water closer to the flame becomes hotter than the water near the top of the pot. As we all know, warm things rise, and cold things fall. So the hot water replaces the cooler water at the top of the pat. Where does the cold water go? It is forced to the bottom of the pot, where it too is then heated up, and replaces the water at the top of the pot that by now has cooled of.
In simpler terms, convection is the circulation of LIQUID (or GAS), driven by heat (or cold).
Conduction would have to do with WHAT the pot is made of, and how quickly/easily heat is transfered through it. Most of the time, conduction travels through SOLIDS (and sometimes GASES, i believe). Take a light bulb and a batterie, for example. To create a circuit, you need energy to get from the batterie, to the lightbulb, and then back again. If you were to use wires made off rubber, the electricity would not transfer through the wiring. You would have to use a wire made of some sort of conductive material.
Hope this helped a bit!
Heat (or thermal) energy is kinetic energy due to motion of atoms and molecules. It is energy that is in the process of being transferred from one object to another because of their temperature difference

The process of a newt boiling in a hot cauldron involves primarily conduction. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects of different temperatures. In this case, the heat from the cauldron is directly transferring to the newt through contact, causing it to boil. Convection and radiation may also play minor roles in the overall heat transfer process, but conduction is the primary mechanism at work here.
Convection is way more important than conduction in the troposphere because conduction can only travel through solid unlike convection.
Conduction occurs in solids and liquids but not gases. Convection occurs in gases and liquids.
Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects or substances, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases.
Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects or substances, such as touching a hot pan. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, such as air or water, which results in the circulation of heat, like in a convection oven.
Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between particles, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Thermal energy refers to the internal energy of an object due to its temperature, which can be transferred through conduction or convection.
Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects or substances. Convection, on the other hand, involves the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). In conduction, heat is transferred through a stationary medium, while in convection, the medium itself moves to transfer heat.
Conduction and convection are both modes of heat transfer. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between particles or objects. In convection, heat is transferred through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). The main difference is the mechanism of transfer: conduction is through direct contact, while convection involves the movement of the medium itself to transfer heat.
Heat energy and a temperature difference.
convection, conduction and radiation
conduction by itself is slower to heat but conduction and convection is faster to heat
Convection and conduction require matter to travel through, and there is no matter between Earth and the Sun
Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material by direct contact of molecules, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Conduction occurs in solids, while convection occurs in fluids.
Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. Each process has its own unique way of transferring heat energy based on the medium involved.
