Heat is a measure of how quickly the atoms of an object are vibrating. When a warm object touches a cooler object, the vibrating atoms from the warm object cause the atoms of the cooler object to vibrate more, and thus become warmer.
There are three main ways of heat transfer
conduction
convection
and radiation.

∙ 13y agoThe transfer of heat is effectively the transfer of vibration from a substance with higher level (warmer) to another at a lower level (cooler). The vibration is thought to relate to the actual substance. But I believe that there is a medium in the Universe made of particles which transmit vibrations between objects. For example between the sun and Earth.

Also, conduction.?

If a cold object is placed in a warm room what would happen?
A: Heat from the room will move to the cold object. B: Condensation will happen
Does Styrofoam keep liquids warm?
Styrofoam is used to keep drinks cold or warm.
When you dip your hand in cold water you feel it cold. Can you name the mode of heat transfer and its direction?
This type of heat transfer is called conduction. The transfer is from the warm hand to cool water.
Why do cold objects have heat energy?
A warm object has more energy that a cold object and we call that heat energy. More heat energy corresponds to more energy of the constituent particles (atoms and molecules.) The energy of constituent particles is both kinetic and potential. Boltzmann was a physicist studying heat and thermodynamics about 150 years ago and we know from his work that the temperature of a system is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the particles in the system. It is thus correct to say that warm objects have particles with more kinetic energy. (We more often say that the warm object has more heat energy energy because the heat energy accounts for both increased potential energy of molecules and thier increased kinetic energy.)
Why does heat energy flow from warm areas to cooler areas?
Nature always tries to come to an state of equilibrium. Water flows from a higher to a lower level. Electricity flows from a higher potential to a lower potential. Thus heat is transferred from a warmer to a colder area until an equilibrium is reached.
How heat is transferred by radiation?
Well a warm object gives off infrared electromagnetic radiation, which can be absorbed in another object, heating it up.
If a cold object is placed in a warm room what would happen?
A: Heat from the room will move to the cold object. B: Condensation will happen
Where does the heat go when you add a warm substance to ice in a warm room?
Heat is not a "thing," it is not transferred from object to object. Instead, when an object is cold, its molecules vibrate slower than when it is warm. When a warm object comes in contact with ice, the fast-moving molecules of the warm object transfer some energy to the ice. This is why the ice warms up, and the warm object cools off (due to losing some of its molecules' energy).
What is a good thermal conductive object?
A good thermal conducive object is winter clothing. It is made of good heat conductive material to keep you warm. Another one is a thermus. It is specially made to keep warm drinks warm and cold drinks cold.
How heat is transferred between a hot and a cold object by conduction?
because when something hot touches something cold the heat touches the surface of the cold thing making it burn and spread the heat around making it warm.
What causes heat energy to transfer from one object to another?
It's when the objects have a different temperature. As if one object were cold and the other was warm. -lu
Does heat flow from a source that is warm to a source that is cold?
Heat does, indeed, go from a warm source to a cold place. That is what heat always does.
What will a cool object do when a warm object is brought near it?
The cool object will absorb heat from the warmer object, and warm up.
What direction of heat flow when a warm object and a cool object touch?
The heat will transfer to the cooler object.
Why is warm water warm and cold water cold?
Warm water is warm because the molcules heat up and make friction they move around much faster when an object is a liquid then a solid. Cold water is in the process of becoming a solid the molecules will slow down and compact to compact molecules need coldness and when something is warming up it is melting and needs heat to melt. duh.
What is heat and why does some things feel cold or warm?
Heat is molecular vibration and can be transfer through eonduction, convection and radiation. Different object had different heat capacity and conduction. We human sense if it is hot or cold from whether we gain or loss heat. In a cold room, walking on cold carpet is still warm because we do not loss much heat to carpet but if we walk on stone or concrete, we loss heat rapidly and we feel it is cloder than carpet even it is at the same temperature.
Why does wrapping up hot things keep them warm?
Hot and cold are caused by the same thing-heat. Cold objects contain less heat than hot ones. An object can become more or less hot through heat exchange. An object can retain heat as insulation creates heat storage.http://portlandovations.org/files/pca_offstage/study_guides/beakman_live.pdf
