Heat Energy - the energy an object has because of the movement of its molecules, and heat can be transferred from one object to another object., Conduction - the flow of heat inside an object when vibrating atoms or molecules collide, Convection - the transfer of heat energy by circular movements in a fluid (usually liquids or gases) that results from differences in density within the fluids., Radiation - energy that moves from one place to another. An example of radiation is electromagnetic energy, electromagnetic energy/waves - a type of wave that transfers energy., Specific Heat - the heat in calories required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance one degree Celsius., Insolation - the solar radiation that reaches the earth's surface, Greenhouse gases - gases (methane, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, ozone, flourocarbons)in Earth's atmosphere that trap heat., Greenhouse effect - a process that occurs when gases in Earth's atmosphere trap the Sun's heat. This process makes Earth much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere., Insulator - Materials that do not allow energy to pass through them easily. Examples of these materials include plastic, rubber, wood, and glass. ,
