No. It is affected by localised pressure differences, thermals - which depend on the the heat-retention property of the surface, surface contours (including man-made ones).
The disadvantages of heat are that if there is no solar energy, then there is no heat.
heat is considered a position of higher temperature.... Temperature on the hand is only a measure of a heat condition
In a Cold Climate and Hot Climate: Each ton of heat pump capacity can heat/cool approximately 500-600 square feet.In a Moderate Climate: Each ton of heat pump capacity can heat/cool 600-700 square feet.So either a 5.0 ton heat pump in a cold climateor a 4.5 ton heat pump in a moderate climate.
Heat is energy. It and temperature are both scalars.
cuz it does
Radiant heat (from the sun or electric fire) is infra red radiation and behaves like light, travelling in straight lines unless reflected of refracted. Conducted heat as in a metal wire is basically energy of thermal vibration and this energy is passes from atom to atom in the material.
Mostly the heat you feel will be radiation from the flame, which travels in straight lines. Thus it hits the side of the hand nearer the flame.
Without the Sun's gravity and heat they would all go off in straight lines and freeze up solid.
Light and Radio Waves are both forms of Electromagnetic radiation, and propagate at c (that is, the speed of light, 3*10^8m/s). Both light and radio waves can travel in straight lines, or by spreading out, depending on how they are made. For example, a radio dish and a light bulb can both spread out light and radio waves in 360 degrees.
convection requires a medium to travel. In space there is no air but, a vacuum. Therefore direct heat from the sun is radiation as it does not require a medium to travel.
blocked lines and wear of lines are the most important problems of heat exchangers.
Radiant heat is subject to the weird physics of electromagnetic radiation like light and has dual wave and particle properties. In this case the answer would be "yes" (it travels in a straight line as if by particle AND as a wave) In the case of conduction, it moves according to the structure of the material that it is moving through. The heat is transferred as molecules of higher kinetic energy collide with molecules of lower kinetic energy. On a macroscopic level this looks like the heat moving in a straight line - although if the source of sink for the heat is not a flat surface, the isotherms - the imaginary shells or surfaces that would be defined if you graphed in three dimensions where the temperature is the same - can look a lot like waves.
They travel in waves.
lines of latitude carve out the heat zones of the earth give reason
Sound doesn't travel in heat. It travels in a physical medium.
Rradiation is the only way that heat can travel in a vacuum.
