    First of all, to understand what heat is, you know, anything you can touch or see is made up of small blocks, which are called atoms. Atoms, are so tiny that you can’t even see them (with the exception of some very specific devices), and they are making it up, that’s the whole point of the universe.

    If something is hot, it means that its atoms have a mass of energy, and to break through it. If you get something cool, as its atoms have less energy to make, and stay very still.

    It is true that space is a vacuum, meaning that there is a lot of matter that is floating around. However, the space is a perfect vacuum. Even if we’re ignoring the big things like stars, planets, and comets, space is completely up to

    The fact is that the sun is the ever-blowing case, known as the solar wind in the solar system. This is part of what causes a lot of beautiful cast-screen display, which we call the aurora borealis.

    Although the sun and the wind isn’t very good – there are very few atoms than that of the ambient air, for example. This means that it can carry a lot of heat, and, therefore, can’t explain how, in the heat of the sun to reach the Earth.

    There are two ways to distribute the heat: conduction, convection, and radiation. Let us take a look at each of them in turn, in order to understand, which allows you to move and reside freely within the space.
