everyone is always wondering what is heat? Where does heat come from. Well to answer all of your questions we well talk about Heat.

heat comes from things like heaters,the sun and ever the human body. There are three different types of heat and they are: 1) Conduction-its energy is transferred but particles do not leave position. 2) Convection-it moves in a circular pattern forming convection current. 3) Radiation-transfer of energy in a wave like form.

so now you know where heat comes from and three different types of heat and now it is time for you to know what heat is. Heat- energy which is transferred from hotter particles - cooler particles.

Some more facts about heat is temperature describes how hot or cold an object is. Scientists use the particle theory of matter to describe temperature.

Did you know: Knowing the temperature of common things, such as room and body temperature, helps you better understand temperatures is critical to your health. A person might not be able to recover it hypothermia is prolonged. Temperature scales are based on reference points such as freezing and boiling points of water. To construct a temperature, you need something that changes visibly as the temperature changes.
