-Heat is a measurement of the movement of particles of matter.
-The faster they are moving, the more heat or thermal energy they have -The faster they are moving, the more heat or thermal energy they have. -The slower the particles are moving the less heat it has.
How is heat transferred? There are three ways that heat is transferred from object to the next: conduction, convection, and radiation.
transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. conduction
conduction Examples: grabbing the handle of a hot pan walking barefoot on concrete during the summer ironing clothes. conduction
thermal energy is transferred from hot places (areas of high thermal energy) to cold places (areas of low thermal energy). convection
Boiling water heat in a room the ocean convection
radiation heat is transmitted through empty space, with electromagnetic waves.
