State

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy that flows between two bodies placed at different temperatures.

Show

A warm hand cupped around a snowball transfers heat into the ice until the snowball melts and the hand cools.

Watch for

Heat names a transfer already in progress, never a fixed quantity a body "contains" once it reaches thermal equilibrium.
