 What exactly is heat???
Heat is the transfer of kinetic energy from one medium or object to another, or from an
energy source to a medium or object. It can also be defined as the flow of energy between
two systems by means of kinetic energy. This can take the form of transferring energy from
a warm object to a cooler object, heat energy, also known as thermal energy is transferred
from one body to another by particles bouncing into each other so, the more heat energy that
is present, the hotter an item or area will be. Heat is a form of energy, and therefore the SI
unit of heat is also joules (J). If two bodies at different temperatures are brought together,
energy is transferred from the hotter body to the colder for example, Jane’s temperature is
36°C and her friend Sam is 34°C because heat is transferred between bodies the heat from
Jane will be transferred to Sam.

Heat can occur in three ways: radiation, conduction, and convection.

What exactly is temperature??
Temperature refers to the hotness or coldness of a body. In specific terms, it is the way of
determining the kinetic energy of particles within an object. The faster the movement of
particles; the more the temperature and vice versa.

The temperature has a significant role in almost every area of our everyday lives as well as in
all scientific disciplines. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the
particles in an object. When the temperature increases, the motion of these particles also
increases. here are devices that use the expansion of a substance to give an indirect
measure of temperature. Such devices are called thermometers. In metric unit, temperature
is measured in degrees Celsius ( °C ) and in the customary unit, temperature is measured in
degrees Fahrenheit ( °F ).
 Radiation Convection and
Conduction
\
Radiation:

. Radiation heat transfer is a process where heat

waves are emitted that may be absorbed, reflected,
or transmitted through a colder body. It can also be
referred to as thermal radiation, One of the most
important examples of radiation heat transfer is the
Radiation:
Earth’s absorption of solar radiation, followed by
Heat transfer from a body with a high temperature its outgoing thermal radiation. These processes
to a body with a lower temperature, . determine the temperature and climate of the Earth.
Radiation is mainly focused on solid surfaces,
emission may also occur from liquids and gases.

 Convection
Convection is the process of heat transfer by the bulk(abundance) movement of molecules within fluids such
as gases and liquids. When a fluid is heated from below, thermal expansion takes place. The lower layers of
the fluid, which are hotter, become less dense. We know that colder fluid is denser. The less dense, hotter part
of the fluid rises up. And the colder, denser fluid replaces it. This process is repeated when this part also gets
heated and rises up to be replaced by the colder upper layer. This is how the heat is transferred through
convection.

There are two types of convection namely;

•Natural convection: examples of natural convection are oceanic winds.

•Forced convection: examples of forced convection are using water heaters or geysers for instant heating of
water and using a fan on a hot summer day.
Convection
 Conduction
Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or
molecules. Conduction occurs more readily in solids and liquids, where the particles are closer together than in
gases, where particles are further apart. The rate of energy transfer by conduction is higher when there is a large
temperature difference between the substances that are in contact.

Think of a frying pan set over an open camp stove. The fire's heat causes molecules in the pan to vibrate faster,
making it hotter. These vibrating molecules collide with their neighboring molecules, making them also vibrate
faster. As these molecules collide, thermal energy is transferred via conduction to the rest of the pan. If you've
ever touched the metal handle of a hot pan without a potholder, you have first-hand experience with heat
conduction.

Conduction, radiation, and convection all play a role in moving heat between Earth's surface and the
atmosphere. Since air is a poor conductor, most energy transfer by conduction occurs right near Earth's surface
 Conduction
Conduction directly affects air temperature only a few centimeters into the atmosphere.
To conclude heat and temperature
are very different things and in
heat we have convection,
conduction and convection they
all contribute to all our daily life
activities.
