What does the term emanate mean?
The term emanate means to radiate or extrude something. An example of emanate being used in a sentence is "Heat and light emanate from the Sun constantly".
What specific name is given to heat rises and cold air descends when it is in the air?
The term for this phenomenon, which occurs in all fluids, is convection.
Define the term heat?
The scientific definition of heat is the average kinetic energy of the constituent particles of any given substance. The less scientific definition would be the degree of hotness, or the temperature.
What term is used to describe when heat gain is equal to heat loss?
The term is "thermodynamic equilibrium."
What is energy in the form of heat?
Heat is a form of energy. It can simply call heat energy or thermal energy or even refer to it as heat.Because heat is form of energy, This question is like asking "What is energy in the form of energy". It is all heat is form of energy.Edit: Heat is given off when energy is wasted. Take a light bulb for example. The newer eco-bulbs give off no heat, or very little heat, so they waste little to no energy at all. Normal bulbs, though, give off tons of heat, and are very hot to the touch. Those aren't eco because they waste energy, and give off heat.Another AnswerHeat is defined as energy in transit from a warmer body to a cooler body. The term, 'thermal energy' is obsolete and has long been replaced by the term, 'internal energy' which describes the sum total of all the energies in a mass.
What is the definition of 'emissivity'?
The term "emissivity" refers to the relative power of a surface to emit heat by radiation. It could also be defined as the ratio of energy radiated by a particular material to energy radiated by a black body.
What is the term for extra heat given off by machines?
Waste heat
Is there another term for specific heat?
Another specific term for heat is thermal energy for light it is radiant energy.
If photo sensitive is for light what is the term for heat sensitive?
thermal.
What is the term for burning with great amount of heat and light but does not detonate?
Deflagrate
What is a term for burining with great amount of heat and intense light but does not detonate?
Deflagrate
What is the term given to the Sudden cooling of metal during heat treatment process?
quenching
How much heat does a light bulb make?
The electrical term Watts is a measure of heat. It is calculated by multiplying amps times volts, but it is still a measure of heat. A 50w light bulb made for 12 volts produces about the same amount of heat as a 50w light bulb made for 120 volts.
What does the term emanate mean?

What term is used to describe the actual amount of light given off by a star at a standard distance?
the absolute magnitude
