Physical objects absorb heat when the molecules of which they consist absorb energy and increase their velocity. Molecules are always moving, or vibrating in a lattice structure. They can absorb energy through physical collisions with molecules of another object or medium (air, water), or through direct absorption of radiant energy. In either case, the molecules then increase their velocity and the object of which they are a part are said to become hotter, having absorbed heat.

How does cotton trap heat?
Cotton traps heat by creating pockets of air between its fibers, which serves as insulation that retains body heat. When these air pockets are warmed by body heat, the cotton material then traps and holds that warmth close to the body. This is why cotton clothing can help keep you warm in cold temperatures.
