What is heat and why do some thing things feel hotter than others?
Heat is the average kinetic energy (or energy of movement) of the atomic or molecular constituents of the substance in question. On the sub-microscopic scale, everything vibrates, and the faster the vibration, the higher the temperature. If you have two objects of the same temperature but one feels hotter than the other, it is because the one that feels hotter is a better conductor of heat. If the heat flows faster, the object will feel hotter.
Can heat transfer through radiation from colder to hotter body?
Yes, heat DOES transfer from the colder to the hotter body but there is a NET heat transfer from the hotter to the colder body.
Does heat energy flows from colder to hotter?
No heat does not flow from colder to hotter. It flows from hot to cold.

On the Celsius scale if it is low does that mean it is hotter?
No, higher numbers are hotter.
Is 50 degrees hotter on a Celcsus or on a Fahrenheit scale?
50° is hotter on a Celsius scale. It's the same temperature as 122° F.

The movement of atoms molecules waves and electrons?
Atoms, molecules, waves and electrons move in a variety of ways, but in general, their movements are perceived on the larger, human scale as heat. In hotter objects, everything is moving faster on the microscopic scale.
Is 50 hotter on Celsius or on Fahrenheit scale?
50 Celsius is extremely hotter 50 Fahrenheit is cool
What will happen to temperature if ice is heated until it melts then boils?
When you heat ice it takes in the heat and its temperature rises until it reaches melting point. It then takes in heat without getting hotter. When it's all melted, then the water that it now is gets hotter and hotter. When it reaches boiling point more heat will simply turn it into steam without it getting hotter. If you keep adding heat to the steam then it will get hotter. The heat that you have to add to something to change its physical state (i.e. from solid to liquid or liquid to gas) but without it actually getting hotter, is known as 'latent heat'.
