About Heating
: [[Heating]] [[Energy Transfer|transfers energy]] from the [[Thermal Energy Store]] of one [[object]] to the [[Thermal Energy Store]] of another [[object]].
There are three ways that [[heating]] can occur:
*[[Thermal Conduction]] - [[VibrateVibration|Vibrating]] [[particle]]s [[collide]] with other [[particle]]s passing on their [[energy]].
*[[Convection]] - [[Fluid]] at high [[temperature]] is less [[Density|dense]] than [[fluid]] at low [[temperature]] so the high [[temperature]] [[fluid]] rises and the low [[temperature]] [[fluid]] sinks.
*[[Thermal Radiation]] - Objects can [[emit]] and [[Absorb (Physics)|absorb]] [[Thermal Radiation]]. The higher the [[temperature]] the more [[Thermal Radiation]] they [[emit]].
