Heat energy can be transferred by three major methods. They are 

1. Conduction,

2. Convection and

3. Radiation.

Conduction is the movement of heat through a substance by the collision of molecules

Convection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy.

Radiation is the transfer of energy by means of photons in electromagnetic waves governed by the same laws. It occurs through a vacuum or any transparent medium.
