Typically a baseboard heating system. Consisting of a boiler, pump, piping, and a heat exchanger like aluminum fins.
A boiler heats water to a safe heating temperature, often 180 degrees or so, and when a thermostat calls for heat, circulating pumps move the water from the boiler to the radiators where it heats the air surrounding the radiant surface, causing localized convective heating as well as some amount of conductive and radiant heat transfer. others have said: Stratification HEAT goes to the cold.
A back boiler is a heating unit installed behind a fireplace that heats water for central heating or domestic hot water, often using the heat from a fire or gas. It is commonly used in older homes as a space-saving and efficient heating solution.
An electric heating element heats the tip just above the melting temperature of the solder being used.

Microwave energy is already a usable power source for cooking/re-heating food.
This type of a heating system is known as central heating.
An expansion tank in a heating system helps to accommodate the expansion of water as it heats up, preventing pressure buildup and potential damage to the system.
The Sun heats Earth's surface through radiation. This heating causes water to change states from liquid to vapor through the process of evaporation.
An electric oven is used for cooking food, while a furnace is used for heating a building. Electric ovens typically have insulated walls and racks for cooking food, whereas furnaces have a heating chamber that distributes warmth through a ventilation system.
A flashlight bulb typically contains a tungsten filament as the heating element. When electricity passes through the filament, it heats up and produces light through incandescence.

The purpose of a pressurized expansion tank in a heating or cooling system is to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the system's water or refrigerant as it heats up and cools down, helping to maintain a stable pressure within the system and prevent damage or leaks.
Consequences of a heating system can include increased energy bills, potential fire hazards if not maintained properly, discomfort if the system malfunctions, and environmental impact due to energy consumption. Regular maintenance and efficient use can help minimize these consequences.
An expansion tank is a component in a heating or cooling system that helps regulate the pressure of the system by accommodating the expansion and contraction of the fluid inside. It works by providing a space for the fluid to expand into when it heats up, preventing pressure buildup that could damage the system.
Radiant heating works by transferring heat directly from a warm surface to cooler objects without heating the air in between. This can be through infrared radiation or conduction. Radiant heating is an efficient way to provide warmth, as it heats objects in a room directly, resulting in a more even distribution of heat and potentially lower energy consumption.
A hot water radiator heats a room's air through convection. Hot water flows through the radiator, heating its metal surface. The heat is then transferred to the surrounding air, causing it to rise and circulate throughout the room.
The sun heats the Earth, and then longwave radiation heats the troposphere via convection currents.
