eli5: Why do cold things get hot, and warn things get cold?
In: 0
It’s the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
It says basically that heat will always travel from the hot to cold.
So if you have something hot- a pie for example, it will cool as heat flows from the hot pie to the surrounding area.
If you have a frozen pie, heat will travel from the warmer surrounding environment and will warm the pie.
