Heat flows from hot to cold because when hot and cold bodies contact with each other (thermal contact), the fast moving molecules of the hot body collide with slow moving molecules of the cold body; therefore the molecules of hot body become slower and body becomes cool, and the molecules of other body (cold) becomes faster and the cold body becomes hot.

Notice: when molecules of a body moves faster it's kinetic energy increase therefore temperature increases and it becomes hot.

How does energy flow in relation to hot or cooler bodies?

Heat energy flows form hot to cold body naturally.


Is it possible for heat to flow from colder body to a hot body?

No, heat typically flows from a hotter body to a colder body in a process known as heat transfer. This is based on the second law of thermodynamics, which dictates that heat naturally flows from regions of higher temperature to regions of lower temperature.


What way can heat never flow?

From cold to hot.

Is hot and cold real?

no. Cold is just the heat in your body leaving so people just think they are cold. Hot is just heat coming in your body.


What is the major difference between conduction and radiation?

Conduction requires contact, radiation does not. Radiation in regards to thermodynamics is the straight line (line of sight) transfer of heat from a hot body to a cold body with no intervening fluid to convey that heat. Example: a flame will heat an object some distance from it by radiation as long as the transfer of heat is unobstructed. Place an object between the two and this flow of heat will stop. Conduction is the flow of heat between a hot body to a cold body by direct contact. Separate the two bodies and this flow of heat stops. Note: transfer of heat by an intervening fluid is convection. The hot body heats the fluid, then the fluid heats the cold body. All three forms of heat transfer occur in most practical heating applications.
