Product Description
In physics the term "heat" refers to the energy that is transferred from a warmer object to a colder one. The energy that is transferred must, of course, come from somewhere. In fact, it all starts with the atoms and molecules that compose all matter. Each of these particles is constantly moving and generating energy from this motion. This is called kinetic energy. The total amount of kinetic energy an object has is equal to its thermal energy - that is, the energy that an object has stored as a result of its temperature.
