Poor absorbers and emitters of heat radiation.
3 of 12
What does the rate of heat radiation depend on?
Its surface area and how much hotter it is than its surroundings.
4 of 12
What is thermal radiation?
The transfer of energy by infra-red waves.
5 of 12
What do all objects do?
Emit heat radiation.
6 of 12
The hotter the object...

7 of 12
How can we get heat from the sun?
Heat radiation can travel through a vacuum, like space, because no particles are involved.
