Extinguish
The heat you feel when you put your hands above a fire is the result of infrared radiation emitted by the fire. This radiation transfers heat energy from the fire to your hands, causing a sensation of warmth.
No, you cannot light your hands on fire with friction alone. While friction can generate heat, it is not enough to ignite a fire on your hands. It is important to avoid attempting to create fire in this way as it can be dangerous.
The energy transfer from the fire to the person's hands is primarily thermal energy. Heat is being transferred through conduction from the warmer fire to the cooler hands, providing warmth to the hands.
No, rubbing your hands together will not set them on fire. Friction between your hands generates heat, but it is not enough to ignite them.
If your hands are on fire, you can safely extinguish the fire by immediately stopping, dropping to the ground, and rolling to smother the flames. This technique deprives the fire of oxygen and helps put it out quickly.
No
Radiated
You will feel radiant heat when you put your hands above a fire, which is heat transferred through electromagnetic radiation. This type of heat warms your hands by direct exposure to the fire's energy.
You just lite a match.
Hopefully by radiation.
