Question

Is it possible to heat a liquid or gas from above?

No, the liquid or gas is heated by convection in which heat is transferred upwards, neither downwards nor sideways. If we heat a liquid or gas from above then, only the molecules on the surface of the liquid or gas are getting heated up.
