Heat
In physics and chemistry, heat is energy transferred from one body to another by thermal interactions. The transfer of energy can occur in a variety of ways, among them conduction, radiation, and convection. Heat is not a property of a system or body, but instead is always associated with a process of some kind, and is synonymous with heat flow and heat transfer.

Famous quotes containing the word heat:
“She knows the heat of a luxurious bed.
Her blush is guiltiness, not modesty.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more—the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort—to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires—and expires, too soon, too soon—before life itself.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“When the heat of the summer
Made drowsy the land,
A dragon-fly came
And sat on my hand;”
—Eleanor Farjeon (1881–1965)
