A fire burns fuel to produce heat and gasses. Some of the heat comes off as visible light and some warms the air in and around the fire and this rises with the smoke.
However, allot of the heat comes off as infra red radiation - a form of light that you can not see with your eyes, but that you can feel with your skin (as the warmth from the fire).
Your skin is always trading heat with its surroundings, your body is always losing heat at a moderate rate to the air touching it. When more heat comes in than goes out, the skin feels warm. So the side of you that faces a fire will feel hot because it is getting more heat than it is losing (because it is absorbing the infra red radiation), while your back surface is shaded from the fire's energy (by your front) and this will be losing more heat than it is receiving and will therefore feel cold.
What else can I help you with?
If you were standing on the epicenter of an earthquake when would you feel the vibrations in relation to someone else standing 50 miles away?
The epicenter is directly above the focus, or starting point, of the earthquake. Anyone standing there would be the first to feel the vibrations.Seismic waves can vary from a low speed of 2 to 8 kilometers per second in the earth's crust to as much as 13 kilometers per second in the deep mantle. Some waves that go downward and reflect up off the earth's core may actually arrive before the waves that go in a straight line!A rough approximation says that someone 50 miles away would feel the vibrations between 6 and 40 seconds later.A+ls: before the other person
Explain why you feel a draft when someone leaves the door open on a cold night?
because cold air gets in
Why is it when it's raining the water in the swimming pool is warm but when it is sunny the water in the swimming pool is cold?
It's all about how your body reacts to relative temperatures. The truth is that the pool temperature is not likely to be the culprit. It's more about how your body perceives the difference between the outside temperature vs the pool temperature. The transition from standing in the hot sun to getting into your pool makes the water feel colder than it might feel than if you are standing in cold rain before entering the pool.
Why don't we feel the ground moving as the plates of the lithosphere move around?
The earth moves too slowly most of the time for people to feel it. When it moves quickly, we call that an earthquake.
How are you able to feel the smell of incense sticks when they are burnt away from us?
Because the smell of the smoke spreads as the gas particles diffuse throughout the area where the sticks are being burned.
How far away should you be from a camp fire?
Um... How big is your campfire... use logic... Don't get so close that you are going to burn yourself... But don't stand so far away that you can't even feel the heat.
What is the heat you feel from a campfire?
The heat you feel from a campfire is the result of the combustion process releasing energy in the form of heat and light. The heat is transferred to your body primarily through radiation, as well as convection from the hot air rising.
Why Heat you feel when you sit next to a campfire?
The heat you feel when sitting next to a campfire is due to thermal radiation. As the fire burns, it emits infrared radiation that transfers heat energy to your body. This sensation of warmth is a result of the energy transfer from the fire to your skin, causing it to feel hot.
A campfire emits what 2 ranges of electromagnetic radiation?
A campfire emits electromagnetic radiation in the infrared and visible light ranges.
Heat you feel when you sit next to campfire is called what?
The heat you feel when you sit next to a campfire is called radiant heat, which is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. This type of heat can be felt even without direct contact with the fire itself.
What makes a campfire an example of Radiation?
A campfire is an example of radiation because it emits heat and light energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. The heat from the fire is transferred through radiation as the energy moves away from the fire in all directions.
If you stand ten feet away from a large campfire heat is transferred to your skin how does this happen?
Heat is transferred through a combination of radiation, convection, and conduction. In this case, the campfire emits thermal radiation that travels through the air and is absorbed by your skin. The closer you are to the fire, the more heat you will feel due to the increased intensity of the radiation.
How can you explain him that he needs you?
just explain him what u feel
What does standing in holy places mean?
Standing in holy places means, is a place that you feel holy in and are not tempted to do bad things. It can also be a place where you feel comfortable and feel the spirit.
Why do you feel like your standing upright when your on the bottom of the world?
you feel standing up on the bottom of the world because of gravity pulling you to the center of the earth.
Why does my cat run away when I stand up?
Cats may run away when you stand up because they are startled or feel threatened by sudden movements. They have a natural instinct to be cautious and may perceive your standing up as a potential danger.
The heat from a campfire is transferred by what energy?
The heat from a campfire is transferred mainly by the process of convection and radiation. Convection occurs as hot air rises and cooler air replaces it, while radiation transmits energy through electromagnetic waves.
