    • what is thermal radiation?
      heat transfer via infra-red ray
    • what kind of heat transfer happens in a vacuum?
      thermal radiation
    • what is a vacuum?
      a space with no particles
    • why does the thermal energy store of a hot object get less , and the thermal store of the surrounding get bigger?
      the surrounding are at a lower temperature then the object
    • in what direction does thermal energy flow?
      towards area with lower temperature
    • unit of temperature
      degrees celcius
