Infrared Radiation is energy transfer by electromagnetic waves.
All objects emit infrared radiation.
The hotter an object is the more infrared radiation it emits in a given time.
Remember that the transfer of energy by infrared radation does not involve particles.
Infrared waves are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are part of the spectrum just beyond visible red light. We can detect infrared radiation with our skin - it makes us feel warm.
All objects emit (give out) infrared radiation.
The hotter an object is the more infrared radiation it emits in a given time.
Infrared radiation can travel through a vacuum, as in travelling through space. This is how we get energy from the sun.
