Think of what's happening with air when you are driving forward. Even without a fan, the car is moving through the air which is going from front to back. Now you are stopped at a light, the fan is sucking air in the same direction, pulling air that is in front of the car through the radiator, splashing it all over the engine, and down and out under the car. The cooling happens as the air goes through the radiator, not splashing all over the engine, just in case you thought otherwise.

Give yourself a little credit next time 87lx.
There are no stupid questions. Better to ask than to assume and be wrong.

Unless it's a what gears should I go with or what is a good clutch. Then you use the search feature.
