Why does eating a cinnamon candy emit heat? Try this experiment. Take your temp before eating some red hots, then eat a handful at once, and take your temp while your mouth is burning.
LOL

The frictional force between the match's tip i.e. phosphorus and the rough material on the side of the match box it is rubbed against is high and produces heat enough to light the phosphorus head of the match stick...
And any burning substance emits heat..

Combustion is an exothermic reaction. That means that when you burn something it gives off more heat than is used up by the chemical reaction itself. Endothermic reactions are the opposite, they get colder. Like forcing ice to melt with salt.

Because of chemical interaction with air.
