Heat is not matter. Instead heat is a description of the random motion of matter. Heat correlates to how rapidly and vigorously a molecule can vibrate. The "hotter" it gets the more rapidly it vibrates and moves. Hope that helps.

What is an example of solar radiation?

The sun is the best example of radiation because, of the three processes of heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation), the sun only radiates heat energy.Conduction occurs through matter, and we are separated from the sun by an absence of matter (vacuum).Convection is the movement of a fluid, carrying heat. Although there is a solar wind, it is very very tenuous - a vacuum.You can step outside and feel the sun's radiation (infrared) on your skin, see the light with your eyes.


What is the biggest example of heat transfer?

The sun gives off radiation, which can travel through space, and is later converted into heat when it contacts matter (Earth, space crafts, astronauts, asteroids, ect.).
