What is the difference between flame and heat?

"Flame" is the visible energy when burning something. "Heat" is given off a flame and countless other things. Flame produces heat, but heat does not always generate from flame, and heat almost never produces flame (friction might count). And if you want the definitions: HEAT: a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature. FLAME: the process of combustion of materials producing heat and light and (often) smoke. If you want to think of it a different way: Flame is what you see when you look at a fire and heat if what you feel from the fire.
