Heat is the transfer of energy due to temperature differences which can occur through conduction within a material by particle disturbance, convection through the mass motion of a heated fluid like air or water, or radiation which does not require a medium and can transfer energy across space like from the sun to Earth.

happens because of temperature difference. CONDUCTION - energy transfer by means of particle disturbance within a material. CONVECTION - energy transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is free to move away from the heat source. RADIATION - energy transfer by radiation does not need any medium which explains why energy from the sun can reach the Earth
