Although cold is considered the opposite of heat, it is actually a lack of heat. There is no opposite form of energy to heat, or thermal radiation.
However, the opposite of heat radiation is heat absorption.

Another name for heat?
Another synonym for heat is warmth, fever, incandescence, swelter, fieriness, torridity, and calidity. Sultriness, suffocating, exothermic, caloric, and on fire are also terms for heat.
When something is set ablaze it makes this.?
Light (energy)Heat (energy)Carbon DioxideWaterSmokeSteamParticulatesCarbon soot (ash)Hydrocarbon emissions
What best describes heat?
force of energy
What does insulation mean?
To insulate is to add on to something to preserve an energy. For houses that energy would heat.
What is the definition of specific heat?
The heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance 1° C - apex
Is Thermal energy and heat energy opposites?
no thermal energy is not the opposite of heat
What is an opposite of an insulater?
A conductor, that conducts heat or energy well
Are Heat energy and thermal energy opposite?
Thermal energy is the energy contained in a system at a specific temperature a combination of kinetic and potential of the particles. Heat Energy is similar as Thermal energy but when you add heat energy the Temperature of the system may decrease on increase.
What is the opposite of thermal energy?
There is no opposite of thermal energy.Thermal energy is energy that comes from heat, and therefore comparable to temperature. There is no "opposite of temperature," and there is no "opposite of thermal energy."If an object has high thermal energy, it is hot. The opposite of that would be having low thermal energy, or being cold.
What is a exotermic reaction?
An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of light or heat. It is the opposite of an endothermic reaction. Expressed in a chemical equation:reactants → products + energy
Is it possible to entirely convert a given amount of heat into mechanical energy?
No. In heat energy, there is always a certain amount of unusable energy. What amount depends on the availability of colder objects.
What chemical reactions reales energy?
An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy in the form of light or heat. It is the opposite of an endothermic reaction
Is insulation a method of heat transfer?
Insulation is the exact opposite. Conduction is a method of energy transfer, insulation is the reduction or prevention of energy transfers
Does energy as heat flows from a lower temperature to a higher temperature?
Thermal energy that flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature is called heat. Heat is energy that flows from one object to another, because of a temperature difference.
Is 'cold' a kind of energy or is it the absence of heat energy?
There is no such thing as "cold" - it's just a concept/term for the absence of heat. Heat and cold are opposite sides of the same coin. You cannot have one without the other. In this sense it is part of any 'heat' engine.
What term refers to a chemical reaction that absorbs heat energy?
Absorbing energy from the surroundings is endothermic. (The opposite - releasing energy to the surroundings - is exothermic).
Why is the ocean the earth's thermostat?
Too much extra heat, the oceans's absorb it because of the energy required to heat water by the same amount of temperature. Too little heat, and the opposite happens.
