Question

How does conduction differ from convection?

Answer 1

Conduction has to be touching the two objects. Convection is not direct.

Answer 2

for online classes : Conduction warms the atmosphere as fast-moving molecules come into contact with lower-energy molecules until all molecules are moving at about the same rate. As the atmosphere warms, molecules move apart. As the heated air flows, heat is transferred by convection from warm, low-pressure air to cooler, high-pressure air.
