A Heat Energy (or Thermal Energy) is a form of energy which transfers among particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solids, liquids and gases in a substance or system that transfers or flows due to the difference in temperature between the two objects. The quantitative relationship between Heat Energy transfer and temperature change: Q=mcΔT, where Q is the symbol for heat transfer, m is the mass of the substance, c is the specific heat, and ΔT is the change in temperature.
