hi!
i can answer your question on what is the difference of convection and radiation.
convection
is the method of transferring heat using moving particles
always carries heat away from gravity

radiation
it does not require particles or a medium to transfer energy
heat transfer from radiation is faster than heat transfer from convection
radiation is emitted in all directions

hope i have answered your question.
bye.
