Heat is actually light. It exists at a lower frequency than visible light, which is why we can't see it, but it is light nonetheless.

When something is hot, it's giving off very intense light that we simply can't see. This explains why thermal imaging cameras see hotter objects as more brightly lit than cooler objects which appear darker.

Hi. Heat is energy imparted on the particles in the form of motion (vibration).
