What you'll hear

How is it that you can sit near a window on a sunny afternoon and feel the warmth on your skin, even when the sun isn't shining directly on you? You're not outside, you're not touching anything hot, and yet, there it is – that lovely warmth. This is the hot topic we're going to explore today: where does heat come from, and how does it move around?

Picture Ravi, sitting at his desk, doing his homework. The window is closed, but the sun is blazing outside. He feels a gentle heat on his arm, even though the sun's rays aren't actually falling on him directly.

He's thinking, 'How did this heat even get here?'
