Question

What is the difference between conduction and convection?

Answer 1

Conduction is when heat is transfered between two objects directly in contact with one another (like a pot on a stove).
Convection is when heat is transfered by movement of the heated substance such as by currents in a fluid.
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Conduction and convection are means of transferring heat, the important difference is the medium through which the heat travels. Conduction occurs when heat is transferred through solid objects, like a bar.
