Heat Transport

The video tutorial explains the three types of heat transport: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction involves the transfer of thermal energy between neighboring molecules in solids, liquids, and gases. Convection occurs in liquids and gases, where heated particles rise and create convection currents. Radiation involves the emission of infrared electromagnetic waves, allowing heat transfer even through a vacuum, such as from the sun to Earth.
