Document Summary
Heat: the amount of energy in an object temperature determines the direction of heat transfer. Warm cool example: a cake and cupcake may have the same temperature when taken from an oven at 350 f but the heat in the cake will be much larger (proportional to size) All objects surrounding the animal (plants, sun, sky, the ground) emit some sort of heat onto the animal all infrared and long wave radiation. At the same time, the animal will also emit energy to the things around it. All things emit energy if the object is at a temperature higher than 0 k. Convection: heat transfer due to movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids. Conduction: heat transfer due to microscopic collisions of particles and movement of electrons within a body. Evaporation: the process by which a substance changes phases from liquid to gas.
