Does heat travel from a hot object or cold object?
heat travel from a hot object first then to cold object!
What is the only way thermal energy can travel through solids?
The only way thermal heat can travel through a solid object is by conduction.
How does energy travel to Earth?
There are three types of transferrable energy: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction- heat that moves from solid object to solid object by physical means. Convection- heat that moves about a gaseous object (think about boiling water) Radiation- light energy that can travel through space and needs no object to transfer through. The correct answer for this question would be radiation.
What are the factors that can affect how quickly an object's heat is gained or lost through radiation?
convection & conduction:)
How does heat travel as radiant energy?
An object at any temperature emits electromagnetic radiation, mainly from its surface. This can be infrared, or - at higher temperatures - visible light. This electromagnetic radiation can travel through empty space, or through air. If it strikes another object, the energy (or part of the energy) will be transfered to this other object.

How quickly does heat travel through promethium?
The thermal conductivity of promethium is 17,9 W/m.K.
Does heat travel slowly or quickly to the center of food?
Heat travels quickly to the centre of food :)

What is meant by a good conductor?
An object is a good conductor when electricity, heat or another form of energy can travel through it easily.
Which is true heat can travel well through all materials or heat can travel well through some materials?
Some, but not all. Some materials are insulators- heat does not travel well through them.

This electromagnetic radiation can travel through empty space, or through air. If it strikes another object, the energy (or part of the energy) will be transfered to this other object.
How long it takes heat to travel one meter?
How fast heat travels depends upon which method it uses to travel (conduction/ convection/radiation) and what it is travelling through (metal/air/water etc.). heat travels much more quickly through metal because metals are good thermal conductors.
Heat is transferred from an object that has a thermal conductivity temperature to an object that has a?
Heat is transferred from an object that has a thermal conductivity temperature to another object through heat conduction.
Why does heat travel from hot object to cold?
Because of conduction.
