Heat and the Sun
This is a photo of the sun! Objects do not contain heat. Objects, which are made of atoms, molecules and ions, contain energy. Heat is the transfer of energy from an object to its surroundings or to an object from its surroundings. The sun is a prime example of the transfer of heat from an object to its surroundings. The sun is transferring energy to the umbrella (pictured in the corner) which now has an increasing temperature due to the larger movement of its molecules which are producing heat.
