* Conduction requires direct contact. While some heat might transfer through conduction if you touch the hood directly, the primary source of heat you feel is not from the hood itself, but from the sun.
* Convection involves the movement of fluids (like air or water). While the hot hood might heat the air around it, this is a secondary effect.
* Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. The sun's rays directly heat the hood, and this heat is then radiated outward, including towards you.
In short: The sun's radiation heats the hood, and then the hood radiates that heat towards you.
