# Brief Explanations:
Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves. The Sun heats the Earth via radiation as the energy travels through space without the need for a medium. Touching hot wax is conduction, holding a hot - dog over a fire is convection (as well as some radiation but mainly convection), and boiling water on a stove is conduction and convection.
