there is this process called conduction: if you get a metal stick, and heat one end of the stick, you will soon notice that the other side of the stick gets warm, and then hot. This is because the particles start vibrating because there is so much heat, and start pushing around each other, making the vibrations pass on to other particles, finally getting to your hand and warming it (your particles in the hand vibrate to!).This process only happens in solid things, but there is also convection, a similar process that happens in liquids and gases which also transfers heat around.
What else can I help you with?
Can heat travel through all materials?
No, heat cannot travel through all materials. Some materials are insulators, which do not allow heat to pass through easily, while others are conductors that allow heat to pass through them readily. The ability of a material to conduct heat is determined by its thermal conductivity.
When current passes through a conductor what makes the conductor heat up?
When current passes through a conductor, the electrons in the conductor collide with the atoms, creating resistance. This resistance causes the electrons to lose energy in the form of heat, which increases the temperature of the conductor.
Can heat travel through everything?
Heat can travel through solids, liquids, and gases as long as there is a temperature difference between two objects. Some materials may be better at conducting heat than others, and some materials may block or insulate against heat transfer. Overall, heat can be transferred through most materials, but the rate and efficiency of heat transfer can vary.
What is traslucent opaque and transparent?
Translucent materials allow some light to pass through but scatter it in different directions. Opaque materials do not allow any light to pass through. Transparent materials allow light to pass through with minimal scattering, allowing objects to be seen clearly through them.
Why does the current loose some of the energy when it passes through a bulb?
When current passes through a bulb, it encounters resistance in the filament of the bulb. This resistance causes some of the electrical energy to be converted into heat and light, resulting in a loss of energy in the form of heat radiation.
Which is true heat can travel well through all materials or heat can travel well through some materials?
Some, but not all. Some materials are insulators- heat does not travel well through them.
What is the ability called when heat or electricity passes through?
Conductor Some materials are conductors of Heat OR Electricity. But the property is not the same for one material; example glass is a good conductor of heat but a poor conductor of electricity.
Can heat travel through all materials?
No, heat cannot travel through all materials. Some materials are insulators, which do not allow heat to pass through easily, while others are conductors that allow heat to pass through them readily. The ability of a material to conduct heat is determined by its thermal conductivity.
Can heat travel well through some materials?
yes can

What materials do let heat pass through?
Materials that allow heat to pass through easily are called conductors. Some examples of good conductors of heat are metals like copper and aluminum. These materials have free electrons that can easily transfer thermal energy.
Other than electricity what are some uses for solar energy?
Because of the heat of the sun passes through to it
How heat waves travel through the ozone layer?
Heat waves do not travel through the ozone layer. Some infrared radiation passes through it, but "far infrared" does not. Ozone is a greenhouse gas.
Does a lens heat up when light passes through it?
Typically a lens will heat up as light passes through it. No lens is perfectly transparent so some of the light energy will be reflected and some of it will be absorbed. The part that is absorbed will manifest as an increase in the temperature of the lens. The closer the lens is to being perfectly transparent to the wavelengths of the light passing through, the less it will heat up.
