How does the surface of an object affect its temperature?
Higher the surface area of an object, higher is its ability to radiate heat.
What does a radiator do?
In your car, the radiator transfers its heat to the surroundings - the air. [Strictly, this is conduction, but don't quibble. This is mechanic talk.] In your room, the radiator does radiate heat into the room.
Why do rough surfaces absorb and radiate heat fast?
Due to their greater surface area.
What type of surfaces radiate heat?
Metal is a main surface of heat with examples being tin, aluminum, zinc or any other common conductor.
Does heat radiate through glass?
Yes, heat can radiate through any kind of physical matter if it has been there long enough - heat can radiate through concrete, it just takes a while.

Why Earth's interior is warmer than its surface?
Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
Why do central heating radiators have large surface areas?
To effectively radiate heat. If they had small surface areas the desired radiation would not occur.
What property of a surface determines how quickly or slowly it will heat and cool?
The thermal conductivity and color of a surface determines how quickly or slowly it will heat and cool

What type of surface will heat up most quickly?
A metal
What is the reason for cooling of lava on earth's surface?
1) The temperature difference between the lava an its surroundings. 2) At the surface heat can be radiated away
Does induction cooking radiate the food cooked?
Induction cooking does not radiate the food being cooked. It generates heat with the device containing the food instead, and the radiation (if any) gets dispersed when the cooktop gets into contact with the surface of the cookware.
