How does heat travel from one object to another?

Answer 1

Either conduction, convection, or radiation.

Conduction is when the two (or more) objects transfer heat through physical contact (this is how your stove works to heat a pot).

Convection is the transfer of heat through liquid or gas by moving heated particles (this is how your oven works).

Radiation is when heat is transfered through waves or particles (this is how the sun heats the earth).

Answer 2

Heat moves from one medium to another through the processes of conduction or convection. Conduction is heat transfer from molecular agitation without motion of the material as a whole. Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid away from the source of heat.

Answer 3

Heat moves by three processes generally: Conduction, Radiation and Convection. However, in fluids (even gases are called fluids) the main source of heat transfer is by convection - either natural or forced. It doesn't mean that other two forms of heat transfer are totally absent. The proportion of heat transferred in fluids by convection is highest. If we leave the fluid alone to the mercy of gravity and still atmosphere, the density gradients established by heated and unheated parts of fluid cause their molecules to move (cooler ones sink and hotter (and hence lighter) ones move up thereby causing a mixing action. If we deliberately churn the fluid by any means, the heat transfer rate goes up substantially - again by convection - this time by forced convection Heat is transmitted through a fluid by means of a process called 'Convenction'. In this, the molecules are actually displaced from their position during the process of heat transfer. The heated molecules move and make space for other molecules to get heated.

Answer 4

Heat can travel through conduction, which is when two objects directly touch. Heat can also travel through convection, which occurs in fluids. The hotter, less dense material rises and the colder, denser material sinks due to gravity, which transfers heat.

Answer 5

It moves from hot to cold.

Cold is not a thing, it is actually the absence of heat.

All heat is is vibrations of particles so, something that is "hot" is just vibrating much quicker than something that is "cold"

Answer 6

by passing a heat wave from that place to the other place therefore making the heat transfered to the other place

Answer 7

It doesn't idiots! Heat energy transfer form hot to cold...there's no such thing. Heat is how much energy is in something. Energy doesn't get cold. Cold is a lack of energy.

Answer 8

cold to hot
