A student says, “Heat moves from a cooler object to a warmer object until both objects reach the same temperature.”

Is the student correct? Explain why or why not.

No. Heat moves from the warmer object to the cooler object until both reach the same temperature (thermal equilibrium).

Three different situations are happening:

1. A spoon gets hot in a cup of soup

2. Warm air rises and cool air sinks in a room

3. You feel heat from the Sun on your skin

Identify the type of heat transfer in each situation.

Spoon in soup → Conduction

Air moving → Convection

Heat from the Sun → Radiation
