It is a cold night around the campfire. Megan is trying to get warm by sitting close to the fire and clutching her mug of hot chocolate. How is heat being transferred to chilly Megan?

Answer:

It is being transferred by radiation.

Radiation is when things are transferred to you not by touch, but by nearby energy.

the heat of the fire is warming her skin by making the air hot while drinking the hot chocolate warms her from inside of her
