How does heat vanish.

583 views

The question doesn’t get much more detailed, but how does head vanish.
My understanding is that heat is a direct type of energy, and energy cannot be created or destroyed, only change type, but I get that, with a heater for example, electrical energy becomes heat energy, I don’t understand why the heat energy then becomes something else, or indeed what it becomes that isn’t heat, because cold isn’t a type of energy.

Heat doesn’t vanish it dissipates, basically it shares a little bit of heat energy with everything around it as the energy continues to move away from the source it becomes so small that any increase in temperature isn’t able to be measured.
