No, different regions of a flame are at different temperatures.

no , its not equal .

Do all objects equally conduct absorb or emit heat?

No, not equallyNo. There's a lot of variation.


Why can't we keep our hand above a candle flame?

Heat is transmitted through conduction (touch), convection (flowing) and radiation (rays). When you hold your hand beside a flame the radiated heat will reach you (it radiates out in all directions like the light), but not much of the convected heat, because convected heat flow is upwards (most things expand as they heat up, so they get lighter and rise), and you will not get heat from conduction unless a burning spark flies out and touches you and conducts the heat directly. With your hand above the flame you are receiving heat from radiation and convection. With your hand in the flame you would get heat from radiation and convection and conduction. The hottest part of a flame is the position where most intense combustion is occurring. If you look at a flame there is usually a small more transparent area near the base of the flame. The boundary between this and the bright area above at the centre of the flame is the hottest area. (This is why when using a gas welder you focus this part of the flame on the metal area to be welded.)


Do all objects equally conduct absorb emit heat?

The emitting and absorbtion of heat is related to ' thermal radiation', whereas the 'conduction' of heat is a separate topic in physics. Firstly, thermal radiation is not equivalent across all substances. Darker coloured 'objects' such as those with a 'matt black' colour are the best emitters and absorbers of 'heat'. Lighter silvered 'objects' are the poorest emitters, the poorest absorbers, and the best reflectors of heat. Similarly, not all objects equally conduct heat. Metals are the best conductors of heat; and so non-metals are the worst. All Insulators do not conduct heat. Examples of good insulators are: plastic and wood.

What part of the sun produces the most heat and light?

Sun is a gigantic gas ball that consist of hydrogen regulary converting to hellium, therefore produces light and heat. All parts is equally hot and lightned. For common sense..if you can feel extreme heat from sun to earth, there is no way one part is going to be little cooler than other within sun because hot part will have its effect on nearby area. (if hydrogen is not equally distributed within sun but it is equally distributed).

What can you say about the parts of our body?

All parts of our body are greatly & equally valuable.It is very difficult to say which part is most wanted.

Which component is typically used on a conventional heater and not a heat pump?

A heat pump is basically an air conditioner that can work in reverse, heating the home. All the parts in the burner and burner cabinet are not found in a heat pump. These include the heat exchanger, burner ports, gas valve, igniter, flame sensor, combustion blower, pressure switches, and manifold.
