How hot is infrared radiation?
Infrared radiation is sometimes referred to as thermal radiation. The temperature of infrared radiation varies from object to object. All objects radiate infrared, even objects at room temperature and frozen objects.
Do hot objects absorb infrared radiation?
All objects emit (give out) and absorb (take in) thermal radiation, which is also called infrared radiation. The hotter an object is, the more infrared radiation it emits. However; the hotter an object, the faster it will emit infrared radiation. Even though hotter objects can absorb infrared radiation, they will continue to emit infrared radiation much faster than they absorb it from any colder objects / sources around them, until an equilibrium is achieved with the objects surroundings i.e. it is always an antagonistic relationship with the objects surroundings and the surroundings with the object.
What are all bodies emit called?
All objects and living things emit infrared radiation unless the object is not a black hole as well unless its temperature is not at the Absolute Zero ( I would call it an "infrared black hole") - such an object can only absorb infrared radiation.
Does a hot iron emit infrared?
yes all heat energy is infrared radiation. so as it emits heat it is emitting infrared radiation.
Do all objects give off thermal radiation?
yes every object gives out thermal radiation

Do all molecules absorb infrared radiation?
No all molecules do not absorb infrared radiation. Some of them do.

yes every object gives out thermal radiation
What are some examples of infared radiation?
Part of the radiation we receive from the Sun is infrared.Any object emits radiation, depending on its temperature; for temperatures below 800 °C or so, all of this radiation will be infrared. If the object is fairly hot, you can clearly feal the heet - but even if you don't feel it, it is still there.
Is electromagnetic radiation infrared radiation?
No, not in general. It is rather the other way around. Infrared radiation is electromagnetic radiation, and electromagnetic radiation spans multiple types of radiation, from microwaves, light, infrared, ultraviolet, radio, and more. So electromagnetic radiation could be infrared, but that is just one type of electromagnetic radiation
Can infrared radiation kill you?
Yes. At a high enough intensity any form of radiation can be deadly. All forms of electromagnetic radiation carry energy, which can heat objects. Intense enough infrared radiation can essentially broil you.
How does the sun give off heat?
The warmth you feel come from the Infrared rays.
What are Microwaves infrared waves and gamma rays are all examples of?
Electromagnetic radiation.
Do infrared waves travel through a vacuum?
Yes, infrared waves are part of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum and all electromagnetic radiation will propagate through a vacuum.
