In physics, heat is defined as energy in transit.Generally, heat is a form of energy associated with the motion of atoms, molecules and other particles which comprise matter. Heat can be created by chemical reactions (such as burning), nuclear reactions (such as fusion taking place inside the Sun), electromagnetic dissipation (as in electric stoves), or mechanical dissipation (such as friction). Heat can be transferred between objects by radiation, conduction and convection. Temperature, defined as the measure of an object to spontaneously give up energy, is used to indicate the level of elementary motion associated with heat. Heat can only be transferred between objects, or areas within an object, with different temperatures, and then only in the direction of the colder body.
